Water Sport
In spite of the many weirs the Franconian Saale is popular with canoeists as a slowly flowing and dreamy verträumter river route. The river may be canoed from Bad Neustadt to Gemünden with a few restrictions. There is also night canoeing from 01 March to 31 July between 18:00 and 7:00, otherwise between 21:00 and 07:00. Boats may have up to four seats, be no longer than 6.00 metres and no wider than 1.10 metres. Rafting and the coupling of boats is not permitted. There is a requirement to notify organised advertised boating events. The weirs are, with a few exceptions, not navigable and boats must be carried around them.
