1,102 moorings — 543 with the Gelbe Welle mark — plus 139 boat fuel stations. Offline map with canoe and motorboat routing. No account, no ads, no tracking.
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
For over 30 years, the most 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)
• On-device routing over Germany's federal waterway network for canoe and motorboat
• Full-text search by name, region or waterway
• Filter by station type or federal state
• Favorites stored locally
• Bright map (warm parchment) or satellite view, optional nautical overlay (OpenSeaMap)
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)
• Map tiles: OpenFreeMap (base), OpenSeaMap (nautical overlay), Esri (satellite)

Ratings & Reviews

• 16 more boat fuel stations added — now 139 across Germany.
• Updated and expanded dataset.
