6 tägige Kanutour auf der Hunte

The varied waterway through the North German Plain offers a scenic and diverse paddling experience. The route leads across a lake, along calm stretches of river with small weirs, and past quaint towns and villages, but much of the journey takes place through the region’s natural landscape, away from urban areas. From Hunteburg to Oldenburg, the river stretches from the very south of Lower Saxony almost to the coast, providing paddlers with a mix of quiet, peaceful waters and charming local scenery. Along the way, the combination of lakes, rivers, and small weirs ensures an engaging and dynamic route for all levels of paddlers.

In recent years, the Hunte River has been developed into an attractive paddling destination thanks to renaturalization projects, the modification of certain weirs into easily navigable sections, and the creation of suitable portages. At many put-in and portage points, informative panels provide details about the river’s course, special features, and the local flora and fauna, giving visitors a chance to learn more about the natural environment of the region. For those who prefer shorter trips, it is also possible to paddle only sections of the route, making the Hunte suitable for a variety of skill levels and timeframes.
