Duisburg-Wedau

“Winter miles, summer smiles”. In Duisburg-Wedau we aim at rowers looking to put in some dedicated work during fall and winter, to improve their technique and fitness in a single scull, double scull or pair. Besides that, our training days are an excellent preparation for rowers who want to race the famous races “Skiffhead” or the “Tweehead” on the river Amstel in Amsterdam.

Rowing water

The Wedau regatta course has a separate 1800 m warm up lane to the start. This sheltered warm up lane, with a coaching path alongside, is our training water – ideal for coached rowing.

Duisburg-Wedau is easily reached by rowers from the Netherlands and Germany.
