With Click& Boat on Germany's inland waters

Germany is located in Central Europe and therefore borders many different countries, such as Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Denmark, and a few others. However, Germany also has direct access to the North and Baltic Seas. There are many lakes and rivers within the country, which are used for idyllic hikes, but are also a beautiful destination for boat trips.
