Need a refreshing experience? Try water sporting in Germany!

Long beaches, secluded rivers, vast lakescapes and a modern infrastructure make Germany the perfect destination if you want to combine water fun, nature experiences and perhaps a little sense of thrill while you're on holiday.

For a real adrenaline rush, you can challenge the elements on the lakes and coasts with kiteboarding or windsurfing, or let off some steam with wakeboarding or water skiing. A canoe or rafting tour through Germany's river landscapes offers pure adventure and, with the right choice of a route, can also be a big hit with the kids. Stand-up paddling boarding on one of the many lakes helps you discover inner and outer balance, including training your deep muscles.

Whatever kind of sport you're in to: you don't need to be a professional to have fun. Throughout Germany, there are a whole lot of offers that allow all age groups to have fun safely in and around the water.
