All I know is that it's a kind of boat trip ...
"Wer seinen Schoppen in den Weinbergen genießen will, sollte sich die "Funzelfahrt" nicht entgehen lassen, die an an allen drei Tagen zwischen Festmeile und den Weinbergen pendelt"
and
"Stechpaddel im Schummerlicht

are two of the hits I found on google... out of a grand total of 62 - and none of them really offer any information as to what it is....
Has anyone ever been on one? Any ideas as to what it is?
