Canoe club Kleverland: paddling and grilling together in the countryside!

For all those who love water and appreciate, there is a name that you should remember: the Kanu-Club Kleverland e.V. This range of sports has not only established itself as a magnet for water sports enthusiasts, but also organizes regular community trips in Germany and the Netherlands. Connected to around 1,300 other clubs in the German Canoe Club, the canoe club appeals to people of all ages-whether young people or adults, everyone can find their place here.

A highlight of the year is the paddle tour to Ascension Day, which takes place in the picturesque surroundings of Emden. The Pentecost weekend also promises adventures: on a tour to the Netherlands, starting from a campsite, the participants have the opportunity to enjoy the unique canopy and the natural beauty of the Weerribben-Wieden region. This idyll is also only developed with small boats, which makes the experience all the more special.

common activities and conviviality

In addition to paddling, the canoe club also very important. In the evening you meet for grilling under pavilions, which promotes cohesion and conviviality. Families with children are cordially invited to take part in the mostly local tours. Another advantage: The club area on the Kermisdal is also available to guests from other canoe clubs as an overnight accommodation. If you feel like, new memberships are always welcome - if you have a good hand, you will quickly find it here!

The home of the club extends along the spoy channel, which flows on the Rhine after 864 kilometers and 6 kilometers on the Altrhein. The club site itself is located directly on the spoy Canal and offers an ideal starting point for all water sports enthusiasts. In times of pandemic, digitization in popular sports in the district of Kleve is also more necessary than ever. Modern digital and media equipment is being worked on, which are promoted by the European Union in order to modernize organized mass sports and to lift a new level.

But the commitment to water sports is not limited to the Kleverland Canoe Club. The Federal Association of Kanu e.V. (BVKanu) also ensures a breath of fresh air on a larger level. With the publication of a new brochure on the results of a comprehensive investigation into canoe tourism in Germany, BVKanu emphasizes how important this sector is for the local tourism industry. The brochure documents that canoe tourism not only advanced its professionalization, but is also closely linked to sustainable practices.
