Hello, sports enthusiast! The boathouse of the 1. Wiener Neustädter Kanu-Club (WNKC) is located directly on the Wiener Neustädter Canal in Wiener Neustadt, where things really get going on the water. Not only does our club life with tons of action start here, but you can also easily borrow a canoe or boat and explore the historic canal. Whether it's a leisurely tour towards Kottingbrunn or a bit further to Laxenburg, the canal is perfect for a sporty slide. So grab your paddles, feel the wind in your face, and enjoy the wonderful nature here at our boathouse. Paddling becomes a real adventure, just as fun and relaxed as we like it in Lower Austria!
