Itinerary
Meeting Point
Meeting point is the western entrance to the 'Kaisermuhlen-VIC' u-bahn station on the U1 red line. Exit the train to right - the correct entrance is the one with the 'Tabak' and 'Snack stop' directly opposite. If arriving by uber then tell your driver to head to the 'Platz der Vereinten Nationen'.
Alte Donau
We'll take a gentle paddle around the famous Old Danube, where those in the know relax during the hot Viennese summers. The Alte Donau (as it is known in German) is akin to a watery village, and aside from the nearby United Nations and some beautifully designed contemporary skyscrapers, you wouldn't realise you're still in the city. In parts, the lake is surrounded by quaint, multi-coloured lakeshore huts and houses, as well as plentiful pontoons to paddle up to for a swim and a rest. If you choose an evening tour you may even be lucky enough to spot one of the nocturnal beavers that call this place home! This is your tour, so we'll paddle just as fast or as slow as you like. Naturally, we'll have some points of interest at hand, but if you'd prefer to just do your own thing with your guide merely acting as your personal lifesaver should you need him, then rest assured, you can do that too!
