In September 2023, I experienced my very first packrafting adventure in the Eifel region of Germany. Three days of hiking, paddling and mountain biking through a green landscape full of forests, hills and water.
We from Reishonger joined Packraft Travel to discover what a packraft trail actually looks like in practice. The result? An adventure that turned out to be much more diverse and exciting than we expected.
One of the best things about packrafting is the variety.
During our trail in the Eifel we hiked through forests, paddled across the large Rursee lake and covered part of the route by mountain bike.
Because of this mix, every day feels different. You explore the landscape in multiple ways and never get bored.
1. You experience multiple adventures in one trip
