Arrival
Wednesday, July 14, 2027
Meeting point (ideally by 5:00 PM) at the Münden Canoe Club (Mündener Kanu-Club), Walter-Diestel-Weg 1, 34346 Hann. Münden. The first team briefing will take place that evening. We will set off together the following morning. After about one kilometer, we will wait before the first lock until all participants have gathered, allowing us to pass through the lock as a group.
Private cars can be parked on or near the club grounds for the duration of the trip for a small fee. At the end of the Weser journey, a bus will provide an affordable return trip to Hann. Münden.
Overnight stays
Overnight stays will take place at nearby canoe clubs or campsites, using your own tent.
Sanitary facilities are available on-site. Don’t forget to bring a tent, sleeping mat, and sleeping bag.
Meals
For the most part, you will need to organize your own meals. Bringing a small camping stove—perfect for preparing tea or coffee in the morning—is highly recommended. Throughout the trip, there will be plenty of opportunities to purchase fresh groceries. You are also encouraged to take advantage of the offerings provided by many of the host clubs (such as evening meals or fresh bread rolls for breakfast). Furthermore, the more experienced Weser paddlers in our group can point you toward suitable cafés and restaurants in the various towns along the route.
Cultural activities
The organizer of the 5th International Weser River Trip intends to develop a selection of culinary and cultural offerings along the route, which will be compiled for each participant. In some instances, host clubs may offer short guided tours of their respective towns or cities. Any associated costs are not included in the tour price and must be covered separately by each participant.
