Peene Valley Safari
● Verchen
A trip on the solar catamaran at sunset opens up a whole new perspective on the Peene River - quiet, environmentally friendly and unforgettable. The silent safari on the water opens up the natural paradise of the so-called "Amazon of the North" in an impressive way. The Peene Valley Safari offers a 2.5 to 3-hour trip through one of the last untouched river landscapes in Europe. In small groups - a maximum of nine people - an experienced skipper takes you on individual, guided tours through the side arms of the Peene River. The focus is on slowing down and observing nature. The solar catamaran glides gently through quiet waterways, past dense reed beds and centuries-old trees. With a little luck, beavers, otters, herons or even a white-tailed eagle can be seen in their natural habitat. The "Flusslandschaft Peenetal" nature park unfolds in all its diversity and tranquillity on this leisurely trip. The tours can be individually designed and offer both retreat and inspiration - ideal for anyone who appreciates sustainable nature experiences and is looking for a special approach to the landscape. An experience that will stay with you for a long time and change your perspective on northern Germany's river nature.
