Lantern making and River Float Date
Experience the magic of Deggendorf River in a new way! Enjoy an evening of crafting lanterns before setting them afloat on the water, lighting up the night with their glow.
- After a casual dinner at a local cafรฉ, you and your partner head to a nearby park sitting by the Deggendorf River. There, under the fading light of the setting sun, you engage in a peaceful activity: crafting lanterns.
- With handmade lantern kits bought from local stores or prepared beforehand, you take turns helping each other put together the delicate lanterns. The process requires careful attention, but laughter and loving glances make it the most enjoyable task.
- As the stars begin to appear in the sky, it's time to float the lanterns. Walking up to the river bank, hand in hand, you and your partner set your creations adrift. The reflection of lanterns' gentle glow on the water creates an intimate ambiance, perfect for ending a date on a memorable note.
Preparation steps:
- The first thing you'll need is to buy or make lantern kits. This can be found in local shops or online. Make sure to buy biodegradable and fireproof lanterns out of respect for nature.
- Next, check the weather forecast. The lantern floating activity is best on a calm, clear evening. A little wind can add to the charm but too much can present a challenge.
- Lastly, pack a picnic blanket and reserve an afternoon slot at one of the local cafes. The blanket will come useful when crafting the lanterns at the park, while the cafรฉ reservation is perfect for your pre-crafting meal.
Some tips:
- To ensure the lanterns float well and donโt cause issues downstream, keep them small and lightweight. Also, ensure you're not causing any disruption on the water.
- Take this opportunity to make a wish together or commemorate a special moment as you watch the lantern float downstream.
- Remember to capture the moment by taking pictures but donโt get completely lost behind the lens. Being present in the moment, immersed in the experience, is what makes this date idea so special.
