Canoe the Altmühl: Solnhofen to Dollnstein!
Get ready for a fantastic day out on the water! Join Global Locals on Saturday, July 12th for an easygoing canoe trip along the beautiful Altmühl River which lies just south of Nuremberg. This 12 km journey from Solnhofen to Dollnstein offers stunning scenery and about 3.5 hours of relaxed paddling, perfect for novices and first-timers! We’ll be using 3-person Canadian canoes and a 2-person kayak for our adventure.
