Canoe tour in the Lower Oder Valley National Park

The circular tour leads through a natural river floodplain landscape that is unique in Europe. Watching animals, taking photos, finding peace. It goes from the Westoder through the Zwischenoderland to the Ostoder. A rest in Polish Gryfino is possible.
Those who come with their own boat can use the boat dock at the harbor or the entry point directly at the campsite. Here you can not only stay overnight, but also park your car securely. The Mescherin campsite rents canoes by appointment by phone at Tel. 033332 - 870044. Here you can get single and double kayaks from the brand CURRENT DESIGN as well as canoes from the brand WENONAH.

In the Zwischenoderland of the Lower Oder Valley, the waterways are narrower and you can paddle well protected in the lee of the reeds. So far, the Oder is rarely traveled, you are on a very lonely waterway. Freight shipping hardly uses this part of the Oder.Maps / Literature: "DKV Water Guide for Eastern Germany: Canoe Guide for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Berlin, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Saxony (DKV Regional Guide)", German Canoe Association; 4th edition (April 1, 2011), ISBN-13: 978-3937743288, 19.95 euros"TourenAtlas Water Hiking / TA5 Berlin-Brandenburg with Spreewald: Oder, Havel, Spree + tributaries", 1:75,000 & 1:25,000, Publisher: Jübermann, 5th edition (July 5, 2013), ISBN-13: 978-3929540666, 25 euros
