Paddling near Delft, South Holland
Delft sits between Rotterdam and The Hague in South Holland, built around a network of historic canals that make the city itself a natural paddling destination. Kayakers and SUP boarders can explore the grachten past crooked houses and the leaning tower of the Oude Kerk, while the surrounding polder landscape — including the Lage Abtswoudse polder and the lake at Delftse Hout — extends the experience well beyond the city center.
