Stand-Up Paddling in Bavaria: Best Lakes and Rules

Stand-up paddling is possible on many Bavarian lakes, but good preparation matters.

Suitable lakes

Beginners do well on calm lakes such as Wörthsee, Waginger See or Schliersee. On big lakes like Chiemsee the wind can rise quickly.

Rules

Many shore zones are protected, especially reed belts. Keep your distance and stay out of closed areas. Königssee has its own national park rules. A buoyancy aid or leash is strongly recommended.

Storm warnings

Orange flashing lights warn of wind on the big lakes. If they flash quickly, head for the shore at once. Our SUP recommendations help you choose.
