Rafting down the River. Enjoy Šumava and raft down the Vltava!

Guests of ***Hotel Šumava raft better and for less!

Relive the spirit of the brave raftsmen who experienced countless adventures on the Vltava River—even though, traditionally, they weren’t allowed to know how to swim! Perhaps that is why they ironically called themselves “plavci” (swimmers).

Vyšší Brod is the ultimate starting point for all boating trips on the upper stretch of the Vltava. Unforgettable experiences await everyone who grabs a paddle and heads downstream to admire the breathtaking Vltava valley from the water’s surface.

Whether you are a couple in love, a happy family, a group of friends, or a corporate team looking for an unconventional teambuilding activity, staying at ***Hotel Šumava comes with a great advantage. Unlike regular boat and raft rental companies, we offer our guests fullservice boating trips at a discounted price as part of our exclusive accommodation packages!

Full boating service for guests of the ***Hotel Šumava Vyšší Brod at a discounted price:

• Transport directly from the ***Hotel Šumava to the boarding point on the Vltava River (3 mins).
• Handover of the ordered boats or rafts, including all necessary equipment and safety instructions.
• Launch of the cruise downstream towards the designated destination.
• A cruise through the most beautiful part of the Vltava valley, with plenty of options for stops and refreshments along the way.
• Transport of the entire crew from the final destination back to the ***Hotel Šumava.
