First Knappteich regatta in Chemnitz: paddle fun for young and old!

On Saturday, June 21, 2025, the time has finally come: The first boat regatta at the Knappteich in the Yorck area of ​​Chemnitz heralds the summer! From 10 a.m., small and large water rats can demonstrate their skills in rowing boats, canoes and kayaks. The event not only promises sporting competitions, but also a lot of fun and action for the whole family. Participants from the age of 12 can simply drop by without prior notice and plunge into the adventure. Blick.de reports that the start fees are 5 euros, but boats and lifeguards are provided.

On the water, an exciting course is built up for all participants, and the goal is clear: navigate as quickly and safely as possible through the challenges. The award ceremony with the coveted Knappteich Cup will take place around 3:30 p.m., with trophies for the age groups 12-14 years, 15-17 years and over 18 years. If you can no longer make it for the award ceremony, you still have the opportunity to paddle on the water by 3 p.m. and to test the boat classes in peace. Knappteich.de added that even the little ones under the age of 12 can experience the regatta with children's actions. The event is therefore a real Highlight for the whole family and the region.

But not enough! A variety of actions will take place along Fürstenstraße, through the allotment garden and the Eubaer Straße. Here visitors can stroll and enjoy the festive atmosphere. The allotment garden association Vogelweid celebrates its 100th anniversary and invites you to music and children from 2 p.m.-a perfect supporting program for the whole family. The event will also round off a morning pint on Sunday in the allotment garden association. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. can be comfortably fitted together, while the last sun of the weekend is enjoyed.

In addition, an IFA club festival on Eubaer Straße will take place from Friday to Sunday, which offers a varied supporting program. On Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., the traditional tournament of the IFA soldies will also provide exciting competitions and a lot of entertainment. nrv.de informs that such local festivities are a great opportunity to strengthen municipal bonds and celebrate togetherness.

So go to the Knappteich! The family grabs, brings you in a good mood and enjoys this unforgettable water sports event together. Summer can come!
