Wilderness School

What is a packraft?
Packraft, also called trekking boat or backpacking boat, is a very durable inflatable boat. Due to its large air volume, the packraft is extremely stable against tipping, this makes it easier for beginners in particular to get started in white water rafting.
The Iller is a very easy wild river, a descent with a multi-person raft is excessive, therefore each participant gets his own boat.

Ecological action
The problems of tourism affect each of us. Due to the ever-increasing traffic in the region and the associated problems for people and nature, we have decided to give you, with a completely new concept, the opportunity to discover the Allgäu without a car, only on foot, by public transport and of course with your backpack boat. This should serve as a model for modern tourism. Integration of existing infrastructure and sustainability should be a core component of tourism in the future. Arrival & departure is possible without problems thanks to the good connection by train / bus. All entry & exit points can be reached via the idyllic Iller hiking or biking trail.

The river – The Iller
The Iller rises as a confluence of the three headwater streams Stillach, Breitach and Trettach near Oberstdorf. In its upper reaches it offers easy white water in difficulty levels I – II+ amidst beautiful mountain scenery.

It winds its way through the Allgäu Alps to the Danube. In the always calm sections you can recover from the splashy but technically not very demanding rapids.

On this river tour you will enjoy a wonderful landscape as well as an unforgettable experience. Topped off with learning to maneuver yourself and your packraft through the rapids.

Our goal is to bring children and young people closer to their connection with nature in a simple and sustainable way

Experiencing nature again with all senses, learning from the millennia-old knowledge of primitive peoples, experiencing the importance of nature as our life-giver, being mindful and respectful of the earth, learning about our own abilities and strengths, and understanding the importance of social and communal action.

In our wilderness courses, we learn concrete Native techniques based on millennia of knowledge. These are survival skills of primitive people: survival without modern tools.

Basic techniques of life and survival in nature:

Bogendrill – The primitive art of making fire by rubbing wood
Shelter building – The shelter, which allows us to survive without fire and sleeping bag
Foraging – Edible wild plants, introduction to stalking and camouflage.
Utility items – From throwing sticks to cooking utensils, cords made from plant fibers, and more.
Movement & Perception Exercises – Introduction to the dimensions of the senses and instinct.

Building life skills:

Self-competence – What I dare to do, what I am able to do
Social skills – what we experience together, how we care for each other, me as a member in a community
Factual competence – plants, animals, ancient knowledge about nature and cycles
