Floating down River Inn - from Silz to Schwaz 2008
Our partner Crazy Eddy is holding the first license to organize commercial rafting with big pontoon rafts in Tyrol. All tours downriver are commencing at the river base of the so called 'Crazy Eddy', just below the Inn bridge in the village of Silz. 3 plastic pontoons, each carrying 6 big tables, cozy seating and sun protection will float with you downriver to towards Innsbruck.
The
actual meaning of the translated word in English. Join us on a nostalgic original raft tour down the
Danube, the journey made by the ‘Siebenbuergener Swabians’ 200 years
ago.
We commence the tours at different take ins, dependent on water levels from Silz to Hall. Once afloat, the music begins and the rhythm of the band brings you in high spirits.
Duration
The length of the trip is extremely dependent on the water
levels on the day and varies quite a lot in spring and summer
season. The main trip we do, from Silz to Zirl takes about 3
hours at river..
Transfers
from your hotel and back from take out
We gladly organize your pick up at your hotel and back from
take out. Prices are varying from different distances.
There is no age limit for our tours, also children are welcome. We also cater for different groups booked at the same trip if groups behave friendly on the raft. All our oarsmen hold a valid government license for your safety. Both of them are wearing safety equipment during the trip. Please bring along your own casual wear and do not forget your rainy jacket though we are having a rain protection roof onboard.
Each raft can carry 45 persons plus the oarsmen. Right now we have three of them available.
Catering @
our 'Floss Restaurant'
Here is the best: We offer a “Floeßer-Menue”
consisting of a solid 'Brettljause', three drinks of your
choice plus a genuine Tyrolean 'Schnapserl' (spirits) for only
15.00 Euro.
We also arrange you life music bands, rustic local trios, modern Rock-Pop duos, the sound machine or the Rolling Stones, if you can afford them. But we admit that for hiring the Stones we need a little bit more time in advance and you need a money machine.
We do drag you around at all famous places of Tyrol near the river e.g. silver mint in Hall, Swarovski Crystal palace in Schwaz, historic Innsbruck and many more...
What about
hitting the loo on board?
This was the first though when we designed our pontoons. A
toilette with panoramic views (if you look straight up) is on
board, but just for peeing. You can see it at the photos, the
small yellow separate square meter...
