Important notice

Information on accessibility
  • In principle, anyone can take part - regardless of whether they have a disability or not.
  • Sometimes the terrain is a little rough (e.g. pebble beach on the banks of the Rhine), which makes it difficult for wheelchairs, for example, but there are usually always paved paths in the area where you can use the grabber as an alternative.
  • We occasionally have a sign language interpreter with us, otherwise we communicate with deaf people via WhatsApp, for example.
  • Of course, we can also speak in easy language on request, which does not exclude people with intellectual disabilities.
