Inflatable boats can be hired from the Orlamünde boathouse. This is where the inflatable boat tours on the Saale to Jena start and where the inflatable boat tours on the Saale that start in Rudolstadt end.

This water hiking rest area halfway between Rudolstadt and Jena also offers overnight accommodation and shower facilities. A bakery, butcher and savings bank are just a 10-minute walk away.
