Canoe river Lahn 11th stage Leun-Lahnbahnhof to Leun-Jugendzeltplatz

The entry and exit point Leun-Lahnbahnhof is located on the left bank of the Lahn right by Leun station. From here, you paddle under the B49 and without major difficulties to the entry and exit point Leun-Jugendzeltplatz on the right side of the Lahn. 

Paddling is fun in any weather. Protect yourself in cool and damp weather with a water- and windproof jacket with a hood.

In sunshine, the intensity of the sun is often underestimated because it feels pleasantly cool on the water. Protect yourself with a head covering against strong sun exposure. Shoes do not need to be pretty but must fit well. The best are lace-up, sports, or special paddling shoes.

To store spare clothes and valuables, waterproof barrels or dry bags are recommended. If you book your route through a canoe tour operator, they will provide them. Store your electronic devices only in waterproof containers!

The Lahn must not be navigated when the HWS (highest navigable water level) is reached! The HWS is a precursor to flooding. You can find the current Lahn water levels here. A brief explanation of the gauge displays is compiled here.

With the QMW Canoe Seal (Quality Management Water tourism), you can recognize certified canoe tour providers and rentals. This award is given to companies that stand for the preservation of nature and water landscapes and offer their guests safe and professional quality. These companies operate with trained staff, have environmentally compatible management, and continuously optimize safety and practical guides for their guests. These firms will definitely provide you with life jackets free of charge because safety must not cost anything!

Always wear life jackets when you are on the water, and especially make sure that no child is sitting in the canoe without a life jacket.

If you travel with a canoe tour operator, get a detailed briefing on canoeing. Have a river description given to you that you can take with you on your river trip. The river description should provide information on all entry and exit points, rest and overnight stops, and special natural areas marked on a map. You should also be briefed on the nature specifics of the respective river. If you go on your own, obtain map material that contains this necessary information. The latest regulations of the protected areas can be found here in the "Current Infos" section.

From the direction of Wetzlar or Limburg on the B49 to Leun. Here leave B49 via Braunfelser Straße and Burgsolmser Straße to Leun station.

Take the train (RE25 or RB45) to Leun/Braunfels station. Cross the tracks via the pedestrian bridge to the entry and exit point.
