Watersports

The city harbor is a partner of the Leipzig Card / Leipzig Regio Card.
Your benefits are described under “Good to know/Further price information”.

The Leipzig city harbor offers numerous leisure activities for water tourists, athletes and those seeking relaxation.

From here, the water city of Leipzig can be easily explored! A variety of tour experiences start at the city harbor and show the city from a completely new perspective. A network of rivers, streams and ditches stretches for around 180 kilometers and is waiting to be explored.

During a leisurely motorboat tour and with a cool drink, guests explore the beautiful river landscape of the White Elster and the Karl-Heine Canal. On the tour - past the Palmengarten weir, the Buntgarnwerke and the Riverboat - visitors get to know Leipzig from a completely different side.

From the Leipzig city harbor, the city and its watery surroundings can be explored in many different ways. Canoes and bicycles can also be rented for this purpose. Various guided tours by canoe, SUP or dragon boat are also offered. In addition to classic canoe or bike tours, both can also be easily combined. The offer Bike&Boat includes the rental of a 2-person kayak at the city harbor, paddling to Lake Cospuden and then changing to bicycles (or vice versa possible).

The city harbor is one of the most popular destinations for Leipzig residents and tourists. The harbor attracts visitors with its wide range of leisure activities, especially during the warmer seasons. With summer temperatures and the typical harbor atmosphere, a very special charm develops here. Whether it's a bike trip along the cycle paths along the water or a boat trip on Leipzig's waters and into the Leipzig New Lake District - experiences like these are unique in German cities.

The city harbor also offers events for families during the warmer months, such as children's discos or pumpkin carving and stick bread.
