Hallo meine Freunde!

 

Have you ever crossed an international border on a raft?
Whatever your answer, this trip is giving you an opportunity to do just that!

 

We’ll head to the north and ride the largest river in the Czech Republic, the Elbe! It won’t be the only superlative of the day as we will raft along the largest (!) sandstone canyon in the whole of Europe. This beautiful natural area is shared between us and Germany and so we too, pop across the border to our neighbors’.

 

Don’t hesitate a book your place because the group size is limited to max. 20 people!

 

 

DIFFICULTY: Easy to Medium

  • This trip is suitable for rookie rafters and children from 10 years.
  • You have to be able to swim to join!
  • Some physical stamina is needed as you will ride some 15 km/9 miles long stretch of the river.
