Salza Rafting “Family”

Family rafting trip on the Salza – pure fun and nature

Salza Family Rafting – the perfect adventure for the whole family

Our Salza Family Tour is the ideal adventure for families with children: all together in the boat, sharing the experience, laughing together. The route has been carefully chosen to ensure it’s great fun, whilst remaining safe and easy to manage. Our experienced guides ensure maximum safety and adapt the tour flexibly depending on the water level – if the water is higher, the route is adjusted accordingly. This creates a relaxed experience of nature, where several families usually set off together to enjoy the special atmosphere on the Salza.
