On Sunday, August 2, 2026, the Werrepicknick will take place on the banks of the Quentin next to the Kiewiese from 12 noon to 6 pm. Together with Rio Negro, H2O invites you to enjoy a relaxing summer day directly on the Werre. Visitors can expect a varied program with activities on the water and on land. Admission is free.

The focus is on shared experiences, exercise and relaxation in a special atmosphere by the river. In addition to a wide range of gastronomic offerings, Rio Negro offers various canoeing and stand-up paddling activities where you can discover the Werre from a new perspective.

Those who prefer to relax can make themselves comfortable on a picnic blanket they have brought with them, a free blanket from H2O or on Rio Negro's rentable beer tent sets.

Families can also look forward to a varied program. The mascots Splash from H2O and Captain Eddy from Rio Negro will be on site and many other games and hands-on activities will keep guests of all ages entertained.

With its special location directly on the water, the Werre picnic offers the ideal setting for a summery day with your loved ones and invites you to experience the Werre at its most beautiful.
