What a win-win situation! Thanks to the Danish NGO ,聽there鈥檚 now a way to paddle along Hamburg鈥檚 many canals entirely for free. All you have to do in exchange?聽Collect waste from the Alster and its many tributaries. Not only will you聽enjoy a wonderful day on Hamburg鈥檚 beautiful waterways, but the city will become a bit cleaner with each outdoor adventure. It's safe to say, that we all profit from each and every boat ride.聽
Backed by the Ministry of Environment and Energy, the kayaks each hold two people and come fully equipped with life jackets, paddles, maps and the necessary gear to free the beautiful environment from plastic eyesores.
The kayaks are easy to navigate, even for beginners, and can be borrowed for two hours at a time. After your trip, your 鈥榟aul鈥� is weighed and shared on social media. In Denmark, this simple principle has already resulted in tens of thousands of volunteers picking up a combined 10 tons of plastic from Danish waters. 聽聽
