REGATTABAHN DUISBURG<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Regattabahn Duisburg is a competition venue for canoeing and rowing. It is 2,180 metres long and 120 metres wide and is located in Sportpark Duisburg, in the southern part of Duisburg\u2019s Neudorf district.
Sportpark Duisburg is considered the largest contiguous sports park of its kind in Germany. The regatta course was created in the early 1930s as part of gravel extraction works and officially opened in 1935. Today, it hosts national and international canoeing and rowing competitions. <\/p>

The National High-Performance Centre for Canoe Sprint and the regatta course building are located near the finish area of the course.<\/p>

The wooded area surrounding the regatta course is popular with recreational runners. A running track circles the entire regatta course and is illuminated in the mornings and evenings. <\/p>

In recent years, the venue and its buildings have undergone extensive renovation. Today, the Duisburg Regatta Course is one of the most modern canoeing and rowing facilities in the world. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
