Whether in the Bavarian Alps or in Germany's low-range mountains, skiing is the number one winter sport. However, what do people who live in regions that have no mountains do for recreation in the winter? For those living in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, one answer is canoeing.
Canoe trips in the ice cold waters of the River Moritz may not be for everyone, but for those hardy souls willing to brave the cold, it's certainly well worth it. Gliding through the crystalline, frozen river landscape becomes a surreal experience, the only sounds being the gentle slap of the paddles, the cracking of ice lining the banks, and the hollow, incessant tapping of distant woodpeckers. This kind of canoeing is relaxing for both body and soul. Finally, we witness a demonstration of Kiudo, the Zen-like art of Japanese archery.
