Paddling and pedaling - a round trip in the water quintet

This varied family tour combines cycling and paddling fun amidst the beautiful scenery of the Water Quintet.

The route is suitable for almost all types of bicycles – only racing bikes are not recommended.
 
Afterwards, a guided canoe tour on the Wuppertal Reservoir begins, featuring exciting challenges and leading together towards Haus Hammerstein. The paddling time is approximately 1,5 to 2 hours.
