Tours & routes
The paddle tours run along the Niers in various lengths. Shorter stages such as Grefrath–Wachtendonk (approx. 8 km, approx. 2.5 hrs) or Wachtendonk–Pont (approx. 11 km, approx. 3.5 hrs) suit half a day, while routes like Oedt–Wachtendonk (approx. 11 km, approx. 3.5 hrs), Wachtendonk–Geldern (approx. 15 km, approx. 5 hrs) or Süchteln–Wachtendonk (approx. 17 km, approx. 5 hrs) offer more time on the water.
Combo offers
Those who want to combine water and land pair the paddling with a ride on the large group bike. Pure cycle tours are also on the programme, for example "Pedals and culinary delights around Wachtendonk" (approx. 11 km, approx. 2.5 hrs).
Practical information
There are two options for the return journey: rental bikes are brought to the starting jetty before the paddle tour and transported back to the destination during the trip, or you park your own car at the destination jetty in advance. As there is no internet reception for card readers at the boat jetties, payment is usually made in cash on site; for combo tours, payment is made as prepayment by invoice.
