I Found a Secret Autumn World on My Paddleboard!

I thought I knew this place. I've hiked it and biked it a dozen times. But when I launched my boat into the freezing water, I discovered a hidden world right in the middle of the city.

This is the Marchfeldkanal like you've never seen it before.

In this video, I trade my hiking boots for neoprene shoes and take my SUP (Stand Up Paddle) on a cold-water adventure. No paddling required—the current is fast (4-5 km/h)! Join me as I navigate between dangerous logs, dodge low-hanging trees, and discover the wildest autumn vibe and colors that are completely hidden from the people on the shore.

It’s a reminder that you don't need to travel far. Sometimes, you just need to change your perspective to see the wonder nearby.
