Watersports on Lake Brombach

Whether you're windsurfing or kiting, the force of the wind will see you tear across the largest reservoir in the Franconian Lake District. On the other hand, if you prefer something a little more relaxing, you can explore the region with stand-up paddling (SUP) or a kayak.

Discover destination

Raft trip on the Isar

Sit back and relax: If you prefer something a little calmer, you can book a raft trip with Heiner Thalmayer.

Discover destination

Stand-up paddling in the middle of Nuremberg

Stand-up paddling (or SUP) is fun and incidentally tones your whole body. In the Nuremberg district of Mühlhof you can either hire a board or buy one.
