In addition to its function as a flood protection area, the Elster flood bed is also a popular place for water sports such as canoeing, kayaking and rowing. There are several boathouses along the river that are used by various water sports clubs.

Hiking

Long distance, right on the water. Ideal to switch off the head. Rarely a bit too rough, especially on foot.
