By boat on the Danube

The little paddle 1x1

Whether you're paddling a Canadian canoe or a kayak, you don't need a license, but you should get some basic instruction from a professional.

1 - Choose the right time

Boats are allowed to sail on the Upper Danube daily from 8 a.m. to 18 p.m. between May and October.

2 - Levels in view

The Upper Danube is only allowed to be navigated when the water level reaches 53 centimeters. Therefore, it is worth checking the water level in Beuron before setting off. On the website of the Flood Forecast Center you will find current information.

3 - All aboard?

Those traveling on the Upper Danube on their own often require a navigation permit. Contact the local tourist offices for information about the Sigmaringen district. here and for the district of Biberach here.
