At Packraft Travel you book a 1-, 2- or 3 day self-employed packraft adventure
in the breathtaking nature of Eifel National Park in Germany.
🥾🚴 Hike, Bike, Paddle & Sleep 🚣♂️🏕️
WHAT IS PACKRAFTING?
Packrafting is a relatively new sport. A hybrid between backpacking and rafting that allows you to experience unspoilt nature at its finest. A packraft is a light weight inflatable boat that fits into a backpack. Perfect for crossing lakes, rivers and streams as part of a longer route on foot or bike. Whenever your hiking trail gets interrupted by water, simply fill the packraft with air and continue the adventure by packraft.
THE ADVENTURE
Hiking, biking or paddling… Which do you prefer? Good news, at Packraft Travel you don’t have to choose. We are the first in Germany to combine packrafting and bikerafting in our 3-Day Trail. Discover the Eifel National Park on foot, by raft and by bike. The bike just goes along on the raft!

Practical info
SELF-EMPLOYED TRAILS
Packraft trails are not guided. Prefer not to go alone? Gather your own travelling party (partner, friends, family, colleagues) to experience the adventure together.
CHECK-IN & CHECK-OUT
Check-in at basecamp on your accommodation from 8:30 am. Check-out until 11 am on the last day of your stay.
Did you book an extra night prior to your trail? Then check-in is possible between 4 pm and 6 pm.
THE TRAIL
On the first day of your trail, our ranger will start at 9 am with the briefing about the route and your equipment. From 10 am you can set out on your own.
On days 2 and 3 of a multi-day trail you can decide the start time of the trail. So start your day with breakfast at your own pace.
The last day of your trail we expect you back at basecamp between 15 pm and 18 pm. Take time to experience the adventure at your own pace!
FAQ
Packraft Travel offers multiple trails for different levels of fitness and experience. So pretty much everyone with good physical health can successfully complete our trails. Also, you get plenty of time to rest, take a break and enjoy the stunning views.
We welcome mostly couples, small groups of friends, colleagues and single travelers aged 20 to 45. The minimum age for our trails is 18 years old.
Absolutely. You are provided with clear instructions on the route and your gear by one of our rangers and you decide yourself how many breaks you take.
When you get down by the water you easily inflate the packraft with the special inflation bag. You scoop air into the inflation bag, similar to a fat boy air chair, and press the air into the raft. It should take you around 5 to 6 full inflation bags to fully inflate your packraft. After paddling through gorgeous scenery, you get back on land, deflate the packraft, roll it up and put it back in your backpack.
No. What makes our concept so much fun is that you will set out independently with all the equipment you need for a unique adventure.
Follow the trail alone, with your partner, friend(s), colleagues or other companionship.
100%. We’ve carefully chosen safe routes and provide you with safety instructions and high-end packrafting gear.
Should you have any questions during the route, our rangers are available for you by phone at all times!

You start your day with instructions from one of our rangers in The Dome where we explain the route and your equipment. Then you’re good to go! You go out with just your backpack, including packraft, paddles, food, water and some spare clothes. All your other belongings stay in your tent at basecamp.
You start with a hike or bike ride of a few kilometers. Once you get down by the river you inflate your packraft and continue your trail by water. Make sure to stop in time to enjoy a nice view and a well-deserved lunch. Once back in basecamp you can enjoy a hot shower, dinner and a drink by the campfire.
Of course! Select ‘1-day trail’ to book your packrafting trip for a day.
Packrafting originates from Alaska where packrafts are mostly used to cross large bodies of water in the wilderness during hikes or bike routes.
Bikerafting is a combination of biking and packrafting. You simple strap your bike to your raft when continuing by water. This gives you the ability to travel longer routes. Select the ‘3-day trail’ to enjoy 2 days of packrafting and 1 day of bikerafting.
No, you will be spending the night at our basecamp. Basecamp is the starting and ending point of all trails.
