Von Wallhausen zur Insel Mainau

A guided canoe tour on the calm waters of Lake Constance offers students a memorable outdoor adventure filled with nature, teamwork, and discovery. The journey begins at the beautiful Wallhausen lido, a peaceful lakeside spot ideal for relaxing and swimming after the trip. From here, paddlers set out along the edge of a small nature reserve where wide views open across the sparkling lake and surrounding landscapes. During the paddle, students can admire charming lakeside villages, the historic town of Überlingen, the elegant Birnau Abbey church, and the famous pile dwellings of Unteruhldingen. The route passes quiet shores and natural habitats where rare water birds can often be seen gliding across the water. Guides encourage respectful silence in sensitive areas so wildlife remains undisturbed.

The tour continues toward the scenic shores near Mainau Island where a peaceful bay shelters many bird species. Experienced guides lead the group while sharing interesting facts about the lake, its history, and its wildlife. A relaxing lunch break takes place near the island campsite where students can rest, enjoy their packed meal, and take a refreshing swim when the weather is warm. Team canoes allow groups to paddle together, encouraging cooperation and shared enjoyment of the experience. After the break, the group gently paddles back along the shoreline toward Wallhausen, passing quiet villages and enjoying the wide lake views once more. The tour combines learning, exploration, and outdoor fun while remaining safe and well organized for school groups.
