Raft-building

An unforgettable team adventure set against a stunning natural backdrop.

Explore the beautiful River Salza on a homemade raft. Ideal for company outings, team-building events and incentive trips where fun, creativity and shared experiences take centre stage.

A touch of nostalgia and a real sense of team spirit await you as you build a raft together. Whilst in the past simple rafts were made from heavy logs, today we ‘tinker’ together to create a sturdy, buoyant vessel from robust tubes, wooden posts and ropes – which is then launched into the water as a group.

As soon as the raft is ready, we head out onto the Salza: a journey through crystal-clear water and stunning natural scenery, where team spirit, communication and creativity are key. Every move counts, every idea helps the team progress – and in the end, the result is an unforgettable group and nature experience that brings people together and leaves a lasting memory.

  • Meeting point at the outdoor camp on the River Salza

  • Team raft-building
    In the relaxed atmosphere of the camp, you’ll build your raft together. The focus is on task allocation, teamwork and skill – ideal for incentive events, groups and corporate events.

  • Joint rafting trip on the Salza
    Once the rafts are built, we transport them to the river. The lower stretch of the Salza is ideal – calm, with stunning scenery and a gentle current.
