About the volunteering opportunity

Come on board: In 2024, we will once again be guests of Paddelzeit Kanuverleih & Mehr. At CleanUp Regensburg, we paddle and clear the Naab and its banks of plastic waste and other garbage.

On SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, we will clean up the Naab and along its banks together with you.

Join in and register yourself and your friends now for free

We will provide garbage collection equipment and boats. If you are unable to take part at short notice, please let us know so that the space can be reallocated. If you have your own boat or SUP, you can of course simply bring it with you. 

Afterwards, we look forward to a cheerful get-together with prize-giving and coffee, cake and refreshing drinks from Café Boot.

If you would prefer to take part in the clean-up with safe ground under your feet rather than from a kayak, or if there are no more kayaks available, then register here.
