At the fork of the Nordloher Canal, continue straight ahead. From here, getting lost is basically no longer possible; the route now follows the Aue-Godensholter-Tief without paddlable branches. After about an hour, an old railway bridge is reached and passed underneath. After another 30 minutes, the destination of the canoe route lies on the left bank, the Godensholt rest jetty."

Safety guidelines

All participants should be able to swim safely.
Alcohol consumption is not allowed on the water either.
Keep distance from other watercrafts. Canoes must always give way and are sometimes poorly seen by motorboat drivers.
Start time must be coordinated with the tide times to avoid paddling against the current.
