Details
In this self-guided tour, rafting fun, many stronger rapids and the natural gradient of the Neisse make this stretch of the river to a whitewater pleasure. This is the right tour for you, if you want to experience whitewater fun on the Neisse river.
Tour programme- Preparation:
You decide at what speed you paddle along the Neisse and conquer the rapids. We meet at our base, where you will find plenty of available parking. From there we will bring you and the boats to the starting point. You will receive a safety briefing, a map for orientation and a life jacket.

At the next weir, the Reisig Weir, you can experience real rafting feeling, as well as a big rapid, before you reach the end point in Rothenburg.
