Canoe trips are a fantastic opportunity to enjoy being on the water while you journey through one of the most famous wine regions in Germany. An adventurous spirit is recommended for all participants. Experience is not required, but for those without, be prepared for the possibility of getting wet! After you get off the river, you will stop at a local winery for some wine tasting. The shops and stores in Bernakstel Kues will be open.

These trips are not recommended for small children (unless accompanied by 2 adults). All participants must be at least 5 years of age and able to swim on their own.
