1,102 moorings, 543 with the Gelbe Welle mark, 139 boat fuel stations. Map, search and every station are free — canoe and motorboat routing with Dalbi Pro.
Dalbi puts the Gelbe Welle on your phone: 543 moorings carrying Germany's DTV Gelbe-Welle quality mark, 420 additional researched moorings, and 139 boat fuel stations — 1,102 stations in total — on a map that works without a signal.
THE GELBE WELLE
Requestable from the DTV since 2004, the Gelbe Welle is a trusted seal of quality for visitor-friendly stations on Germany's waterways. Previously only published as a PDF. Dalbi turns it into a searchable, offline-first map and adds further researched moorings on top.
WHAT'S IN IT
• 1,102 moorings across 16 German states — 543 with the DTV Gelbe Welle mark
• 5 station types: marina · town landing · canoe launch · guest berth · waterway rest stop
• 139 boat fuel stations with fuel types and opening hours where known
• 99 inland-waterway visual and audible signals (WSV, 12th edition 2024)
• Routing over the waterway network for canoe and motorboat — computed on your device
• Full-text search by name, region or waterway
• Filter by station type or federal state
• Bright map (warm parchment) or satellite view, optional nautical overlay (OpenSeaMap)
FREE TO USE
The map, all 1,102 stations, search and filters, three favourites and the full offline mode stay free for good — no account, no ads.
DALBI PRO
Free for 7 days. Pro unlocks routing for canoe and motorboat with live navigation, plus full station details, every visual signal, unlimited favourites, and satellite + nautical charts. Routing tells motor-navigable stretches apart from small paddle-only rivers; for motorboats you can enter your draft and read the waterway class of the stretch you follow.
OFFLINE — BECAUSE IT MATTERS
On the water, the network often drops after the first lock. Dalbi loads station data, the waterway graph and the base map on first launch — after that the app works fully offline. On the Mecklenburg Lakes, the Upper Rhine or off Heligoland.
WHAT'S NOT IN IT
• No account, no sign-in
• No advertising, no location-history tracking
• No backend — all data ships with the app, routes are computed on your device
DATA SOURCES
• Stations: DTV Gelbe Welle directory, OpenStreetMap (ODbL), Wikidata, operator submissions
• Waterway network: Bundeswasserstraßennetz, GeoBasis-DE/WSV (dl-de/by-2-0), extended with OpenStreetMap
• Map tiles: OpenFreeMap (base), OpenSeaMap (nautical overlay), Esri (satellite)

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New in this version:
• Canoe or motorboat routing — motorboats now follow only the motor-navigable network (federal waterways, canals, lakes), while canoes also use small rivers. Switch right in the route view; for motorboats you can enter your draft and see the waterway class of the stretch you follow.
• Dalbi Pro, free for 7 days — routing with live navigation, full station details, the complete visual-signs reference, unlimited favourites, and satellite + nautical charts. The map, all 1,102 moorings and search stay free.
• More accurate waterways plus many small improvements.
