OkerPirat

With the "Okerpiraten", specially designed boats, you can discover the untouched nature to the right and left of the Oker and enjoy culture at the same time. The guided tours start at the jetty at the fish ladder at Juliuswehr (Marktstraße). From there, you travel silently towards the Oker floodplains to Halchter or to the pedestrian bridge at the Kulturbahnhof.

The journey takes you past varied vegetation while the ferryman tells you about Wolfenbüttel's history and stories. One of the highlights is the trip through the 200-metre-long tunnel, in the middle of which some may see the light at the end of the tunnel.

In addition to the traditional Oker trip, there are a variety of culinary and cultural activities on offer. At the "Duel on the Oker", for example, you will be entertained with city history and sailor's yarns. You can find an experience report on echtlessig.de.

Individuals can seek a sporting challenge with SUP (Stand Up Paddling) or relax and unwind with gentle paddle strokes. The Oker between Wolfenbüttel and Ohrum is a great spot for this. Stand up paddling is a great leisure activity where you can train your whole body: Arms, legs, abdominal and back muscles and also your sense of balance. 

SUP training for beginners

If you want to learn the basic techniques of stand up paddling under professional guidance, then this offer is right for you. In the approximately 2-hour course, you will learn how to stand safely on the board and move forward with the right paddle stroke.


SUP city tour for experienced paddlers

You should already have some SUP experience for this tour. The tour takes you through the Oker floodplains to the city center of Wolfenbüttel. Along the way, you will have to complete some courageous tasks, such as crossing the tunnel in the dark, kneeling or lying on the board under low bridges - and don't be afraid of spiders! Different tours are possible depending on the water level and the possibility of passage.
