Even more fun on the water...
Watersports enthusiasts flock to Germany’s Lake Muritz, a network of more than 1,000 lakes where dinghies, windsurfers, canoes and kayaks can be hired. The crystal-clear waters are also great for dropping the anchor and taking a dip!
Other top watersports destinations include Douelle on the River Lot, where canoeing and kayaking are popular or Sneek in Holland, home to a fantastic watersports centre. You can hire a small boat at a number of other stops, and in other regions as well!
Suggested Cruise for Watersports :
In the heart of the beautiful Muritz Natioanl Park, scenic Lake Muritz and its network of 1000 or more lakes is a perfect destination for watersports enthusiasts. Hire dinghies, windsurfers, canoes and kayaks for fun on the winter, or simply drop anchor and go for a refreshing swim.
The lazy River Lot is a perfect place to hire canoes to explore the banks which can be hired by the hour at many locations. It is possible at certain hire centres to be transported up river and take your time drifting back downstream with the current. Waterskiing is possible very near to Cahors for beginners or experienced skiers. They also have the ride on ringo for children and are fully equipped with life vests.
Friesland in northern Holland is one of the biggest areas of inland lakes in Europe. From our base in Woudsend, head for the coast to Stavoren, the oldest city of Friesland, which offers lots of seaside fun and is a hugely popular watersports town. Further north in Workum, on the banks of Lake Ijsse, you can also go kite surfing. Don’t forget to head to Sneek in August for Sneek Week, where the town’s reputation as the ‘capital of boating’ really come to life.
