A Relaxing Time on the Water

Boating

On a pedal boat in Friedrichstadt, you can cruise through the canals and along the Treene River—staying active yet relaxed—and take in the sights of the town and the surrounding countryside. Whether as a couple or with the whole family—pedal boating is fun and offers a varied experience during your vacation in Eiderstedt!

It may not be a sport, but a canal cruise is still a highlight you shouldn’t miss during your visit to Friedrichstadt! Hop on board and enjoy—on the approximately 1-hour round-trip through Friedrichstadt’s canals, you’ll glide leisurely along the water and hear all sorts of sailor’s tales from the captains. In case of "Schietwetter" (typical saying for bad weather / north sea weather), covered boats are also available.

Sit back and let the charming Dutch town work its magic on you!
