Here some photos showing me canoeing on the river Werse in northern Westfalia, end of June 2002.
I grew up near the Pleistermühle ("mill"), an old watermill for flower. Due to damming up the Werse is a small slow flowing river running into the river Ems, which goes into the North Sea.

Getting ready to start.
