Backwaterman -Adventure Challenge
We offer you a new fjord called Purzelkamp which is seen is the nicest one becaus of his narrowing arms and rocks beside. You will start with the boat and jump into the water to the start line. Swimming along the fjord-like bays back to the boat operation offers you unique views below the big bridge to the ruines of Lichtenfels and the boat operations as finish line. Enjoy the race.
