Canoe SaarFari

Experience the Saar actively: Discover the natural paradise by canoe!

The lower Saar Valley between Serrig and Konz is one of the most beautiful natural paradises in the region – especially from the water, a fascinating river landscape with a diverse wildlife and impressive floodplains is revealed. For everyone who wants to experience the Saar from a whole new perspective, KanuSaarFari offers the perfect opportunity: Equipped with rental canoes or kayaks and the right gear, nothing stands in the way of an unforgettable adventure on the water.

Two particularly popular tours make the beauty of the Saar experienceable:

The Waterfall Tour – Paddling fun with a natural highlight
The tour begins in Saarburg – just a few paddle strokes away awaits a true highlight: the 20-meter-high waterfall of the Leukbach and the idyllic Hackenberger Mill. After this short detour into the Leuk, we paddle downstream on the Saar through the picturesque wine landscape to Schoden. A special experience is the nature reserve "Wiltinger Saarbogen" – with lively rapids and a rich diversity of wildlife. Further downstream, St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors, greets us before we reach the destination in Konz-Könen. The return trip is conveniently possible by bus or train. Length: 14 km | Duration: approx. 5 hours | average flow speed

Nature Tour – small, but wild and romantic
The nature tour begins in Schoden and is perfect for a spontaneous day trip or a little break in between. In about two hours, you paddle through a particularly natural section of the Saar – the Wiltinger Saarbogen. Kingfishers, cormorants, dragonflies, and beavers call this place home. Occasional small rapids provide a touch of adventure. Length: 7.5 km | Duration: approx. 2 hours | average flow speed

Canoe Rental:

On the right bank of the Saar in Saarburg, near the Old Town Bridge, there is the possibility to rent canoes and rediscover the scenic beauty of the Saar Valley from a whole new perspective.
