TIMBER RAFTING
AUTHENTIC RAFTING EXPERIENCE WITH THE TIMBER RAFT "HLODOVEC"
The timber rafting season is from 01/05/2023 to 31/10/2023.
Experience timber rafting as a real timber rafter and embark on a journey down the Drava River!
Learn about the history of timber rafting and the process of selling timber and steer the raft down the Drava River just like they did in the past.
However, a timber rafter's adventure was never easy, so you'll also be getting your hands dirty! You'll need to prepare a rafter's meal, brew coffee over an open fire, and paddle with a real timber raftin paddle (called Lemež). Are you ready?
See Maribor from a different perspective and embrace the Drava River. Let the healing power of the water and the beautiful nature brighten your day!
Rafting on "hlodovec" with two rafters takes 2 hours. We will navigate from Koblar Bay to Maribor's Lent, which used to be an old harbor for timber rafts and special boats called Šajke. We will return to the starting point in Koblar Bay using a motorboat. Upon request, Lent can also be the drop-off point.
