Raft trips through the Steverauen

Float through the wild nature on the Stever and enjoy the unique view in the Steveraue Olfen. On a raft trip on the raft "Antonia". The raft trips are offered from around May to October. You will be accompanied by an experienced Steverauen guide who will not only take you safely through the floodplains, but will also have plenty to tell you. Forget everyday life and enjoy a wonderful time on the water. Keep an eye out for donkeys, horses, wild cattle and storks.

You can book the trips online and at the reception desk in Olfen town hall (Kirchstraße 5, 59399 Olfen). Raft trips are available for groups of up to 15 people. However, individuals and small groups also have the opportunity to take part in a "public raft trip" on several Sundays throughout the year (see dates below).

Tip: Bring drinks & snacks for a small picnic on the raft.
