start live-chatHow to explore the lakes and rivers of our holiday region in your own special way, right up close and personal? Take to a stand-up paddleboard or a kayak. Whether you already have your own equipment or you’d just like to give it a go - you’ll love that experience of being so close to the water. And there are so many special places in the region to discover in this special way.
What looks pretty easy from a distance does in fact call for good balance and strong body muscles. SUP is a fantastic workout that’s also a huge amount of fun. For stand-up paddleboarding you need a SUP board and a paddle. SUP boards were specifically developed for this sport. They look similar to a surfboard, but actually SUP boards are considerably longer, broader and - above all - more stable. In addition to the conventional boards there are also inflatable boards with multi-piece paddles that can be easily packed into the boot of a car.
