From now on, you basically can't get lost; at most, narrow old arms branch off from the Soeste, so if you stay on the broader waterway, you are on the right track. After about 1 1/2 hours, Lohe is reached, where there is also a rest dock. About another hour and the destination of the canoe route, the rest dock Harkebrügge, is reached." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/3028813/db79c9290a5d7c6cf546058c7da522be8b5d19cc8f50dcadfba68c5de323e980/auf-der-soeste-bei-lohe.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Home > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share canoe route from Barßel to Harkebrügge ====================================== - 10.14 km long - Difficulty: easy - Condition: very easy - Great panorama - Canoe auf der Soeste bei Lohe - 2:30 h - 10.14 km - 2 m - 1 m - 1 m - 2 m - 1 m - - Start: Paddle-and-Pedal station Barßel - Destination: rest dock Harkebrügge tide-dependent canoe route from Barßel to Harkebrügge, distance approx. 10.2 km, duration approx. 2 1/2 hours From the dock of the Paddle-and-Pedal station Barßel, the route leads left past the Barßel lighthouse into the Soeste and thus through the center of Barßel.

Maintain distance from other watercraft. Canoes always have the duty to give way and are sometimes poorly seen by motorboat drivers. Start time must be coordinated with the tide times to avoid a tour against the current.
