About this experience
A change of perspective is guaranteed on our city tours, because we explore the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage city of Stralsund from a kayak. After a short introduction to the topic of safety and basic paddling knowledge, our two-hour tour starts at Dänholm, from where you already have a fantastic view of the unique city silhouette. The route leads us through the transverse channel between the harbor island and the mainland, past the imposing storage buildings. At the end of the cross canal, we turn and we now explore the harbor island from the other side, from where we have a good view of the pilot's house, the Ozeaneum and the legendary Gorch Fock. At our previously agreed meeting points you can find out everything worth knowing and interesting about the Hanseatic city of Stralsund and its history.
