Whenever I read travel reports like this, I get really jealous! You know why, since you've lived in Germany too, right? The landscapes, rivers and lakes rich in water, and wildlife - simply magnificent!

yes, these are good shoes! I've been wearing these for two years now and am very happy with them. They provide good support when walking, but are light and flexible enough to sit and kneel comfortably in a canoe. The soles of the shoes provide a secure grip on slippery surfaces and they dry very...

oh Erica - you could also sum it all up with the headline: "me and myself or the force of emotions" I have the utmost respect for your achievement!

As you can see in the picture, I moved the new bench one seat width toward the center. This meant I only had to drill two new holes in the gunwale. The seat is now perfectly positioned for me, so that my knees don't touch the yoke when I'm sitting down.

After buying my canoe I was very happy at first. But after my first trip, I wasn't quite so happy anymore. I painfully realized that I couldn't paddle the two-person canoe very well on my own with luggage and food for a multi-day trip. The trim didn't work at all, and worst of all for me, I was...

Great Area ... (y) 2023 we had a tour on river Lahn

On my last trip, I took my EXPED ORION II EXTREME ... It is quite large and has very good headroom. It is quite luxurious with its two opposite entrances and two vestibules. This gives me enough space to sleep, as well as room in the tent to spend time without feeling like I'm locked up in a...

Yes, tents from Tentipi are very popular here... with a floor space of 4-5 meters, they are also quite suitable for two to three people. Another, cheaper alternative are tents from Helsport—these are made of synthetic fiber and are correspondingly lighter. . . . Yes, two wooden...
