Beginners

Our fleet accommodates all levels of experi ence. The boats are easy to manoeuvre and are fully equipped. With helming joysticks as well as bow and stern thrusters you can now relax on your holiday.

Cycling Fishing Food, wine, culture

City tours, Garden Shows or wine tours –we offer unforgettable, cultural & gourmet packages. How about a culinary cruise with wine tasting and regional Alsatian speciali ties? Or a music festival in Berlin?

Freedom to fish in a glorious setting – with KUHNLE-TOURS we provide the right type of boat and all the required fishing licences. If you prefer you can also book fishing days.

For many areas, no licences or prior experience is required.

KUHNLE-TOURS gives you the opportunity to experience the perfect boating holiday. We have 150 boats and 7 charter bases along Europe’s finest waterways. In Germany, our home waters are in and around the capital of Berlin.

LICENCE FREE AREAS:

Please refer to the map for licence free areas where any boat in our fleet can be driven.

This is regardless of whether a licence is required in your home country. Whilst most of the French waterways do not require a boat driving licence, in Germany if your home country requires a licence, then you will need a licence in the not licence free areas in Germany.

LICENCE FREE CRUISING:

This is on condition that your home country does not require a boat driving licence or you are driving a boat up to 15 HP/11.03 kW. Our Pirate 915, bellus and Febomobil are all below this threshold. The only exception is the 6.6 km stretch near the government buildings in Berlin (km 14,1 to 20,7 SOW).

Germanys largest lakes

The North East of Germany: Mueritz, Mecklenburg Lake District

The Blue Quartet comprises of Plauer lake, Fleesensee, Koelpinsee and the queen of all German lakes - the Mueritz. Each of these four lakes is impressive by its size. There are no locks and just a few bridges making this area an ideal region for houseboats. Enjoy the beautiful scenery, golden yellow canola fields, green avenues, bright blue waterways and historic cities. Fishing is excellent, the wildlife is superb and canoeing in the rivers is a lot of fun. We offer a number of one-way options between our bases in Germany.

Mueritz and The Blue Quartet

Our main location for boating holidays is right in the centre of this region, on the southeast shore of the Mueritz, Mecklenburg‘s largest lake. KUHNLE-TOURS is the biggest charter company in this region. 2500 kilometers of rivers and over 1000 lakes and canals are waiting for you. Almost untouched nature, cultural highlights and historic sights are there for you to discover. Enjoy the abundant wild flowers, and look out for rare waterbirds. Journey through lake after lake, each as beautiful as the last, but none the same.

The Blue Quartet comprises of Plauer lake, Fleesensee, Koelpinsee and the queen of all German lakes: the Mueritz. Each of these four lakes is impressive by its size. There are no locks and just a few bridges making the area ideal for houseboats. The largest lake of the Blue Quartet is called the Mueritz covering 117 square kilometers. From Hafendorf on the Mueritz you can only see the north bank on the other side on clear days. There is plenty of space to have as little or as much space as you want.

Travel ideas:

Drive to the west bank to Roebel. It’s one of the prettiest destinations in the area. Whilst you’re visiting it’s worth climbing up to the church tower to view the panoramic views across the bays and the Mueritz. If you like good food, then visit the romantic Gutshof Ludorf hotel and soak up the wonderful ambience whilst experiencing the delights of their renowned kitchen. They are passionate about cooking with local ingredients. The hotel is a 20-minute walk from Roebel.

At the north bank of the lake (Binnenmueritz) is Waren, the biggest city at the Mueritz. There are frequent events, such as the Mueritz Sail and open-air concerts which are great fun for locals and visitors.

On your way to the Koelpinsee you can buy fresh fish at the Mueritz fischer in Eldenburg.

From the Koelpinsee you can travel to Jabel. Between Lake Jabel and the Koelpinsee is the peninsula Damerower Werder. It's a special preserve for wild ducks and european bisons.

At the south bank of the Fleesensee you can walk into Untergoehren and visit the holiday resort. It’s a great place for some holiday en tertainment and good food. The golf club and the spa are popular.

A little bit more western is the pretty monestary city of Malchow. This perfect location offers a beautiful view above the water in front of the Plauer See lake. In the south, the lake has some idyllic bays where you can swim in the clear, safe water. In the centre of Plau you can buy groceries and there are some good restaurants too. If the lifting bridge is open, you can see the Mueritz-Elde-Waterway on the way to Doemitz and Schwerin.

Elde, Schwerin and Schwerin Lake

Above the blue band of Mecklenburg, along the Mueritz-Elde-Wa terway, along the brewery city called Luebz you get to Schwerin. Schwerin is the capital city of Mecklenburg Vorpommern. For more information about the city, palace, gardens and museums go to www. schwerin.de/en

Autumn and Winter Cruise Experience

Through autumn and winter, you and your crew can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lakes and countryside. Visit the cities without the crowds of the summer holidays and enjoy all the historic attractions and restaurants.

More than 1000 lakes

Mecklenburg and Brandenburg Lake District

This area has more than 1000, largely connected lakes. The banks of the waterways are fringed by forests, meadows and marshes. Boating is a wonderful way to experience this beautiful countryside and the history of the area.

Mueritz-Havel Waterway: Castle Island, Mirow and Rheinsberg

The first highlight on the way from the Mueritz to Berlin is the former ducal residence, Mirow. Cross the moat and stroll through the park. Visit the baroque palace where the English Queen, Sophie Charlotte lived, and stroll to the Love Island. Before the completion of the Mueritz-Havel waterway, the Mueritz was connected to the small lake area over the so-called Old ride and the Bolter lock. Today, only the Lake is navigable. In the summer, the lilies are in bloom and a visit is highly recommended. A trip to the Rheinsberg waters leads to the Brandenburg town, made famous by the German poets Theodor Fontane and Kurt Tucholsky. The Rheinsberg Palace with its garden provides a unique backdrop from the boat. The Rheinsberg waters have numerous tributaries, lakes and bays and both beautiful and quiet anchorages.

Upper Havel Waterway: Neustrelitz and Fuerstenberg

In the northern part of the small lakes at the beginning of the Upper Havel waterway is Neustrelitz. This former residence of the Dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz has an impressive baroque square and interesting streets. With its cultural offerings (State Theatre of Mecklenburg, the unique exhibition "Resource Chamber Earth", Slavic Village) and good shopping, a visit is worthwhile. A walk through the castle garden with its large lawn and orangery is not to be missed.

Between Neustrelitz and Fuerstenberg is the beautiful countryside along the Upper Havel. The banks are natural and are largely untouched. Look out for kingfishers and if you are very lucky you may see ospreys. There are many tranquil bays. The "Wasserwanderrastplatz" in Wesen berg offers a beautiful mooring.

Hafendorf Muerit z

Fuerstenburg offers a wide variety of things to do. There are many restaurants and in the old town you can admire the historic fishermen's cottages. A visit to the Ravensbrueck memorial provides insights into the recent history of the place. In Himmelpfort, stop and visit the old city and the Christmas post office.

After Himmelpfort you are now entering one of the most beautiful sections as the Upper Havel gently winds between Himmelpfort and Burgwall. It is a unique place for nature. At the start of this waterway is Schorfheide, which is an unspoilt area of marsh. In this area even cranes and gray geese breed. Even if you have no plans to go towards Berlin it is worth making this detour to experience the route. Another worthwhile detour is to Templin. The old town has well preserved medieval city walls and a modern natural thermal spa will make a memorable day ashore. The historic drawbridge and lock are a couple of sights best seen from the boat.

Berlin Centre

Many major cities are on the water, but only one can be busy with charter boats: Berlin. The city has a good network of waterways from bustling canals, small and large lakes and romantic waterways. In addition to numerous interesting shore excursions to travel by boat to the Chancellery and Reichstag is a major highlight for any visitor. There are 183 kilometres of urban waterways which offer a perfect network of roads with few locks. The city has twelve waterways in which you can reach almost any attraction in the capital. A license is not required to travel for our boats up to 15 PS / kW 11,03. The Berlin waterways are far easier than the motorways, … and is there any other European capital where you can "review" your rulers from your boat? By the way … your sightseeing does not incur car parking charges (or the hassle of finding a spot). You are almost always able to find a mooring in the city, what better than mooring comfortably on a silent river/canal bank (separated by trees from the rush of city life) BUT with easy access to all that Berlin has to offer – shopping, strolling, museums, great food in boutique restaurants.

Potsdam City and surrounding area

The Prussians have their own Havel. Flowing south under the Glien icker bridge it then turns to the northwest and travels through the vineyards and orchards to Werder. The Potsdam Havel has many moor ings and boaters are welcome everywhere. Of interest are the castles at Potsdam, the world-famous Sanssouci as well as the interesting moorings at Einstein's summer house in Caputh, with the the island town of Werder and its beautiful orchards and vineyards - well worth a stroll. Paretz palace, the former residence of the legendary Queen Louise is just a short detour, and the town or Ketzin is also worth a visit. Brandenburg town is also close by. The city is completely visible from the water and the centre has several good mooring facilities. Try not to miss the cathedral and museums which are worth a visit.

Berlin Outskirts

For anyone who has seen enough of the city, point your bow east or west. Going east enables you to go across lake Mueggelsee and to the charming Little Venice with its 5 canals and 13 bridges it is a delight. After Daemeritzsee the idyllic Ruedersdorfer waters and Loecknitz provide welcome entertainment. The clear water is perfect for swimming. Here you can explore the limestone quarries and visit the Ruedersdorf Museum Park, a monument of industrial culture. By going west along the Lower Havel waterway you go through Spandau and on to the Elb. OUR BASE IN ZEUTHEN IS ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BERLIN. DRIVE INTO AND AROUND BERLIN. NO LICENSE REQUIRED.

VISITING BERLIN CITY - NEED SOMEWHERE TO STAY?

We have floating apartments in the Berlin-Rummelsburg city marina available from November to March. If you have a boating licence, then why not go on a city cruise? Winter cruises and “Floating Apartments” see page 17 and kuhnle-tours.com

The Glienicke Bridge across the Havel River connects the Wannsee district of former West Berlin with the Brandenburg capital Potsdam (the former GDR District capital). During the Cold War, prisoners were exchanged here between western states and the Eastern Bloc. The first prisoner exchange was the basis for the story of the Bridge of Spies which became a film by Steven Spielberg.

Welcome to Brandenburg

Finow Canal

Lake District Spree-Oder

The Havel-Oder waterway is a commercial waterway, however the 400-year-old Finow canal is something quite different. This historical channel was lovingly repaired in the 90's and has since been awak ened from its slumber. The shores are densely covered and lined with tall trees. There are hand-operated locks, many a gem of industrial architecture (riveted steel bridges, old forts and brick-memory) and channel banks densely covered in vegetation giving you the feeling of being in a different country.

Visit the twelve gates of the Finow canal and admire the boat lift. Niederfinow is one of the oldest operating ship lifts in Germany and a fine example of exceptional engineering. Two boat lifts are next to each other and transport boats in a steel basin (trough) which goes up and down like an elevator. The new modern ship lift, next to the historic one, is now in operation. The old 1934 elevator (trough length 85 meters) is only be used for recreational boating, while the new long elevator is for next generation boats and can cater for lengths up to 115 m. Niederfinow is a true marvel and a magnet for visitors: schiffshebewerk-niederfinow.com. You can reach the boat lift via the Havel-Oder waterway. The Finow Canal will not be completely navigable from 2023 due to the renovation of the locks.

The Werbelliner waters

Close by the Biosphere Reserve is the water of Werbellin. It is reached by driving through the beautiful, lush Werbellin Canal. The water is of such good quality that it is able to serve Fischerstuben whitefish. You can either eat on the spot or buy and create yourself a great meal on your boat. Of course, you could also try to catch your own.

In the southern outskirts of Berlin begins the Dahme-chain of lakes. You find our base at Zeuthen, the subway station is only a few minutes from the marina. The green shores of Lake Zeuthen and Sellzugsee hide the King's palace in Wusterhausen. At Prieros every boat crew is faced with a choice: Go right into the quiet waters of Teupitzer or left towards Storkow where you travel over several lakes and canals lined with water lilies. Eventually you will reach Fontane's "Maerkisches Meer", the Scharmuetzelsee, and the spa town of Bad Saarow. Since reunification this region has become increasingly popular.

The Spree-Oder waterway

Where Berlin stops in Schmoeckwitz, the Spree-Oder waterway from the Dahme separates. After a break in Seddinsee you cruise from the lock Wernsdorf on the channel to the east. Fuerstenwalde with its five hundred year old cathedral and the many games and fun activities for children is a worthwhile stopover on the way to the Spreewald. At Neuhauser you can quickly go to the next chain of lakes, leading to Schwieloch in Lower Lusatia. This lake has little traffic because the lake has no onward lakes and is a turnaround point. Continue along the Spree-Oder waterway, via Eisenhuettenstadt and reach the border between Poland and Germany. Sand banks and groynes shape the riverside going to the twin cities of Frankfurt / Slubice. This is a city rich in modern and historical culture. On the Warta River Estuary at Kuestrin, the Oder continues through natural floodplains and isolated riverside forests. In Hohensaaten the waterway proceeds to Szczecin Lagoon or turn west towards Zehdenick, Berlin or Mueritz.

France

Our fleet is located in Alsace-Lorraine. The rivers (Mosel and Saar) and numerous canals are fantastic to explore. Here we have meandering rivers intersecting with straight canal-sections. The route is diverse in that it runs through mountainous areas, vast fields of open countryside, and busy towns like Strasbourg, Nancy, Metz or Saarbruecken. The rivers Mosel and Saar are characterised with quaint little wine villages and historic build ings. Cruising along is a real trip back in time and dining ashore is a culinary delight.

Canal de la Marne au Rhin and Saar

Expansive grain-fields, woods with plenty of game, picturesque vil lages and a number of reservoirs and lakes characterize these two canals. The main attraction of a boating holiday in Alsace-Lorraine lies in the historic architecture of the canalside buildings and struc tures, including the huge lock of Réchicourt and the boat-lift of St. Louis-Arzviller.

The 290 kilometers of the Canal de la Marne au Rhin connects the basin around Paris with the plain of the river Rhine. Navigating several locks it travels through the Vosge mountains and the Lorraine-area. Our main base, Niderviller is situated at the top where there is a long section with no locks. After this highest point the canal runs through two tunnels and drops down again into the lovely Alsacien valley of the river Zorn and on to Lutzelbourg, a village famous for glass-blowing. Towering above the village is a castle dating back to the 12th century. Several locks further down is Saverne with its pretty old houses and busy little shops.

The Canal de la Sarre leads from the Etang de Gondrexange at the Canal de la Marne au Rhin to Sarreguemines and is situated about 80 kilometres further north. The lakes on either side offer great views with some superb swimming. The canal winds down in three major curves until it gets into the Saar-valley. River Saar offers many places to see, among them the famous Saar Bow near Mettlach.

The wine region Mosel and Saar

Deutschland Luxemburg Frankreich Straßburg

Trier Metz Nancy

Saarbrucken

Niderviller

The early part of this region is characterised by wide green fields with the occasional industrial area, the later section (between Toul and Thionville) enjoys beautiful vineyards. The French part of the river has only short canal sections. The cities, like Pont-à-Mousson and Metz have good mooring facilities within an easy stroll of beautiful old quarters. We highly recommend Metz which is a former bishops’ and imperial city and is well–known for its cathedral with its famous glass paintings and the new Centre Pompidou Metz. Thionville is great for night life containing many squares where you can enjoy the cafes, restaurants and bars whilst savouring the atmosphere. The castle town of Sierck-les-Bains is where the Mosel says goodbye to France. Remich and Grevenmacher are the major cities on the Lux embourg Mosel. But also the smaller towns are worth a visit. Pass by Schengen, the place where Europe, as we know it today, has begun and Wormeldange, where you can go up the “Koeppchen”, probably the most expensive vineyard in Luxembourg. Destinations like Trier with its Roman sites and the medieval town of Saarburg are popular places to stop on these rivers.

Work

The Kuhnle Group offers roles for hosts with a passion for charter and gastronomy, for craftsmen in the shipyard and for friendly sales people in the office.

Three management positions are held by women (reservation, back office and gastronomy). We also welcome people with physical dis abilities. We welcome every new employee who wants to become an important part of our diverse team. Places of employment can be at our main base in Rechlin an der Müritz, but also in Priepert, Zeuthen, Zehdenick and Niderviller (France).

KUHNLE-TOURS is still family-owned and operated, more than 40 years after its foundation and will remain so in the future. We give our employees the greatest possible responsibility and a lot of freedom. Our decision-making processes are short. Employees are encouraged to create the basis for innovations. We continuously develop new products and offers. Almost all our developments have been copied by our competitors. Our employees are constantly working on digi talisation and the expansion of the software we use.

Benefits Kuhnle-Group

Working for us, you deal with boats and with boating guests. What could be more natural than to treat yourself to some time off after work and chug off into the sunset with the boats? We attach great importance to team cohesion: joint boat trips, team meals in our own restaurant, our own beach bar or joint barbecues - you will find all this with us. Of course, the Christmas party and the end-of-season party are also part of the annual schedule.

We offer various benefits for employees, but also for trainees and students. If it doesn't work out with finding a place to live, we can provide a temporary flat near the company. From there, the commute to work can easily be managed by bicycle, which we can provide.

We offer you:

• Unlimited employment contracts or seasonal contracts

• Staff housing for seasonal staff

• Further training and talent promotion

• A wide range of development opportunities within the Kuhnle Group

• Courses for boat driving licence

• Trainees: travel costs to vocational school and possible expenses or accommodation costs are covered.

• Smartphone also for private use when working in the social media team

• Do you have children and would like to introduce them to water sports? We will bear the costs of the youth work of the Mueritz Segelverein Rechlin for your child.
