MK canoeists on the Lahn
The trainees of MK Versuchsanlagen und La-borbedarf e.K. from Mücke-Merlau were on an adventure tour on the river Lahn on 15 September. Trainee coordinator Lorena Heider and trainer Horst Küllmer had organised a canoe trip from Odenhausen / Lahn to Gießen.
It was quite a group of 21 trainees and their two supervisors who went through Merlau in the morning towards the railway station to take the train to Marburg. Already slightly damp from above, they went to the landing stage in Odenhausen. Equipped with life jackets and paddles and instructed on the correct rules of conduct on the water, the eight boats set off down the Lahn. With a white-water feeling, they went over the canoe chute at the weir in Lollar. Otherwise, it was mainly muscle power that was needed to make progress on the calm water.
The teams were on their way for about three and a half hours until they reached the weir in Gießen. After the successful landing, they went to the “Boothaus” restaurant to review their experiences. Everyone agreed: a great day together, with lots of fun for all trainees from all departments.
