Is Kayaking in the Elbe around Hamburg safe when I'm cautious?
Hi,
I'm planning to buy a used inflatable kayak for the Elbe. I'm used to SUP boarding in the Alster, but this is so crowded and I live close to the harbour. Kayaking is allowed, even crossing the fairway. But I can't estimate the risk of getting dragged into serious trouble by wind or currents on such a boat. I was thinking of a kayak like the Itiwit x500 from decathlon or, if possible, something lighter.
I would be grateful for any advice or tips.
