Registration via checkyeti was straightforward, and booking worked perfectly. On-site, you're greeted by local staff, easily identifiable by their T-shirts or vests, who take excellent care of you. We did the 3.5-hour Deschka Rothenburg tour. No one needs to be afraid of the small "rapids" if they follow the staff's instructions; we even saw boats going backwards, and nothing happened except for wet feet.

Beautiful location at the start and finish. Everything was well organized. The scenery was fantastic. There was plenty of water in the Neisse. It's not quite rafting, but it's fun in a group. You need at least four people per boat, otherwise it gets exhausting. Afterwards, there was a barbecue buffet, or you could choose a meal worth a certain amount, which was also good.
