Summary: A wonderful afternoon by the water around and in Stralsund. Our guide, Steffen, was extremely helpful and eager to explain his explanations in detail, amusing and informative. Mastering the kayaks was much easier than expected. Particularly positively surprising: Initially it looked like we were the only participants. The tour would have been with us alone!
