City tours along Leipzig’s waterways depart from Antonienstraße. Experienced captains guide the approximately 70-minute motorboat tours and provide interesting information about sights, industrial architecture, and well-known locations such as the Karl-Heine Canal, the cotton mill, and the Elster floodplain.
In addition to the guided tours, rowboats, kayaks, and canoes are available for individual excursions. Suggested routes and recommendations for planning your trip make it easier to explore on your own.
The offerings are complemented by a boat shop on the White Elster and at Lake Cospuden in Markkleeberg, as well as by the water sports school, where you can obtain a recreational boat license.
