Length: 15 km

The rafting town of Lychen is located on an island, surrounded by 7 lakes. From the water, you can enjoy the town from an all new perspective. Crystal clear water and unspoilt shores await those going on a relaxed canoe tour.

You start your journey through tranquil nature by going south towards Zenssee, after which you will reach the idyllic Platkowsee. The left shore is a nature reserve, so disembarking is not permitted here! You will return the same way, but not all the way to your starting point on Oberpfuhlsee, but to the jetty on the transfer spot by the shepherd’s meadow. Here you need to carry your canoe across the street to the town lake. Depending on your level of fitness, you can now decide which way to go. You can either turn right towards the smaller lakes Nesselpfuhl and Wurlsee at the end of the lake, or you can go straight ahead to Großer Lychensee. The quiet little river Woblitz branches off the south-western shore of this lake. From Nesselpfuhl, the boat can be returned to the starting point on Oberpfuhl on a boat trailer.

Length/duration: 15 kilometres (1 day)

Depending on your mood and fitness, the tour can be varied from 5 km to approx. 25 km.
