Wildwasserpark Hohenlimburg, Water sports facility in Hohenlimburg, Germany.
Wildwasserpark Hohenlimburg is a whitewater sports facility in Hagen featuring a 300-meter-long artificial channel designed for paddling training. The water course includes movable obstacles, nighttime lighting, and depths reaching 1.20 meters (4 feet).
The facility was built in the 1970s when local enthusiasts and military units constructed a basic water course from scratch. It underwent major modernization work during 2002 and 2003 to meet contemporary training standards.
The park serves as a hub for competitive paddlers and kayakers from across Europe who gather here for championships and intensive training.
The facility operates seasonally from March through October with changing rooms, showers, and accommodation featuring bunk-bed rooms and shared common areas. Visitors should come prepared for water conditions and bring appropriate gear.
Group rafting tours are offered where visitors navigate the artificial water course as a team, with the entire channel featuring a 2.9-meter overall gradient. This combination lets people experience paddling dynamics similar to natural whitewater.
