Die Norfolk Broads
A very beautiful part of the inland waterways! They are somehow similar to Camargue, only very, very British and, according to English people much nicer. The northerly Rivers Ant, Bure and Thurne are more mellow then their brothers Yare and Waveney in the southern estuary. These are wilder and more rural but  therefore less crowded. 

River Bure 
is the most notherly of the tree main rivers of the Broads. It flows ito the North Sea at Great Yarmouth. 
Der River Ant
This is the narrowest and shallowest of all the Norfolk Broads rivers. It links the River Bure with the Dilham Canal. A peaceful, winding journey through romantic nature brings one to Barton resp. Sutton Broads. The tides have hardly any influence here.
Der River Thurne
Potter Heigham, what is probably the best known town in the Norfolk Broads is on this river. The flat landscape offers wonderful views as well as sunrises and sunsets. On the other hand, the wind is often very strong.

















South Broads:
River Yare
From Norwich to Breydon Water and Great Yarmouth on the North Sea, this river is part of the Norfolk Broads. The tides are very strong at Breydon Water and Great Yarmouth. Up to Trowse Newton the draught is more than 10 m.
River Waveney
This river in the southern Norfolk Broads makes up part of the border between Suffolk and Norfolk.
