Starting point of your canoe tour on the Schlei
If this is your first canoe experience, it is preferable due to its waves to use a tributary river of the Schlei as your first tour.Suitable for beginners is the Haddebyer Noor and Selker Noor near Schleswig or the passage between Loit and Füsing on the Loiter and Füsinger Au (a waterway of 15 kilometres). When you reach Winningmay, the tour ends with a short passage on the Schlei.We recommend planning your tour always following the wind direction. On a round trip, make sure to first work against the wind so that you can relax on your way back.
