What you'll do
Join me for a canoe trip through the heart of Kreuzberg, one of the city’s most fascinating and diverse neighbourhoods.
The trail between Urbanhafen and Oberschleuse offers many highlights. As we traverse the historic Landwehr canal and continue right up to an exceptionally beautiful part of the River Spree, you’ll soak up the mood of this open-minded, multicultural and alternative part of the city. Beginning at the harbour of the Urbanhafen, we’ll pass under the Admiral Bridge, paddle past the Turkish market, continuing via the canal through residential, urban and nightlife-rich areas till we reach the Spree. Once on dry land, we’ll explore the lively Turkish market and greet the traders before sitting down for delicious Anatolian cuisine at the most-welcoming Turkish takeaway in town.
Other things to note
I recommend everyone wears a hat and sunscreen. If you are prone to burning, long sleeves too!

I’m the manager of CANOA BERLIN and a real paddling-enthusiast. I love showing people around my hometown by canoe. I’ve lived in Berlin for over thirty years and know the city’s hidden corners and varied communities. Seeing the city from the water is really special and I hope you’ll come and experience it with me.
Where you'll be
Kreuzberg, the rebellious soul of old West Berlin, is just south of the centre and well-connected to public transport. We’ll canoe the historic Landwehr canal which divides the city from west to east, taking in sights including the orthodox synagogue, the Lohmühle village, and the ‘Dreiländereck’.
Rated 4.85 out of 5 from 375 reviews.
Ein sehr sympathischer Guide mit einer ruhigen Art. Die Strecke war sehr schön und das Tempo wurde immer gut an alle Gruppen angepasst. Schöne Erzählungen über die Entstehungsgeschichte der verschiedenen Viertel in Berlin.
Alles in allem ein schönes Erlebnis.

Wonderful experience!! I was with my partner but I would have felt safe with Florian even if I had been traveling alone. He is a talented guide and you can tell he puts a lot of time into gathering the information he shares on the tours.
Unfortunately we had a cold rainy morning but we made the best of it, had some great conversation with the other couple and our two guides, and made it a wonderful experience anyway.
We might have been one of the last time slots of the season since it is getting quite cool outside, but I highly recommend this experience whenever it is available next spring!

Florian is a very comfortable guy to be with. The way he communicates is like water, he goes with the topic where you are interested and then lead such topic further and deeper. So is this canoeing experience course, like water flow, very comfortable and relaxing.

A very special way to experience Berlin’s history and culture — from the water in a canoe. Florian was a lovely guide — kind, thoughtful and full of great stories and insights. We really enjoyed meeting the other guests too. Thank you Florian!
