You can admire the impressive backdrop of the Tennen and Hagen Mountains from the raft while you paddle under the instruction of our experienced guide and let the river carry you along. We start directly below the imposing Hohenwerfen Castle and pass numerous sandbanks and rapids along the way. If you feel like it, you can even jump out of the boat and go for a swim!
