SUP-Tour auf der Aare in 2 Abschnitten by Adrian

Ich bin heimisch in Bern und kenne die Aare aus der Westentasche. Schöne Tour, jedoch nicht für den Anfänger geeignet. Bitte bedenkt, auf Fliessgewässern wie die Aare, keine Leash zu tragen und mit einer Weste zu fahren.

Sehr schöne gemütliche Fahrt die gut mit SUP und Schlauchkajak zu meistern ist. Die benötigte Zeit betrug bei uns 6 und nicht wie angegeben 3,4 Stunden. Dafür müsste man schon sehr sportlich unterwegs sein. Der Rhein fliesst zügig bis Rüdlingeen danach gleicht er eher einem See und ohne kräftiges Rudern geht fast nichts mehr, vor allem bei Gegenwind. Eine Pause beim Restaurant Tössegg ist sehr empfehlenswert - nette und schnelle Bedienung. Allzeit gute Fahrt!
