Häufig gestellte Fragen
Kann ich auch als Nichtschwimmer ins Strandbad und an den Kajaktouren teilnehmen?
Der gesamte Seebereich inkl. Aqua-Park ist ausschliesslich geübten SchwimmerInnen vorbehalten. Schwimmhilfen sind im See nicht erlaubt. Unsere Kajaktouren sind hingegen für Anfänger und auch Nicht-Schwimmer gut geeignet. Vorgängige Erfahrung ist nicht notwendig.
Finden die Kajaktouren auch bei Regen und Wind statt?
Alle unsere Touren und Kurse finden bei jedem Wetter statt. Es gibt zwischendurch Tage, da macht uns ein Sturm oder Gewitter einen Strich durch die Rechnung und wir können aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht aufs Wasser. Oftmals aber ist die Wetterlage besser als die Vorhersage. Wir betreiben diesen Sport in der Natur, folglich müssen und dürfen wir mit ihren Launen arbeiten und häufig ist gerade bei nicht strahlendstem Wetter die Kulisse noch viel dramatischer und das Erlebnis noch eindrücklicher.
