Packrafting in the Upper Harz

Anne-Kristin Beutel is a certified trekking guide and offers a combination of hikes in the Upper Harz Mountains and packrafting adventures on the Oker reservoir. The offer is complemented by short packrafting tours that start directly on the shore of the lake and are an excellent way to familiarise yourself with this water sport. The expert provides all participants with professional equipment for each tour. In the cooler months, this also includes the right paddling clothing. In order to enable an intensive, authentic experience of nature, she travels in small groups; individual tours are also possible for individuals. The combined day tours all lead to the Oker reservoir via various hiking routes and lead into a packrafting tour. The boats are set up together and all equipment is stowed in a watertight container. This is a marvellous way to explore the Oker reservoir from the water. The bays offer wonderful opportunities to take a break and enjoy regional snacks. There is always something to discover on the trails as the landscape in the Upper Harz changes with the seasons along the rivers and on the shores of the lake. Be it the blooming spring meadows, lush green banks in summer, the bright colours of the autumn landscapes or the snow-covered hills in winter. Every season makes these tours unique. Anne-Kristin Beutel attaches great importance to respecting nature conservation, flora and fauna.
