Historical rafting in Cesky Krumlov
Our company has been operating historical wooden rafting since 2004. We try to continue the tradition that has existed here for centuries. The first raftsmen appeared on the Vltava river in the Middle Ages. Due to the absence of railways and impenetrable terrain, river navigation was the easiest way to transport wood and other raw materials, such as salt. Tree trunks traveled from Sumava mountains to Prague, or even further. In the upper course, due to the width of the riverbed, the trunks sailed individually. Subsequently, they were tied together in the so-called moorings, which was also in the town of Cesky Krumlov. From this moment on, we can talk about wooden rafts as we know them.
The company Historical rafting Cesky Krumlov offers a unique sightseeing cruise on the model of a historical wooden raft. During the voyage, you will learn interesting things about wooden rafting, but also about Cesky Krumlov.
In less than 20 years of wooden rafting, we have had the honor of sailing several important clients. It is worth mentioning, for example, British actress Rosamund Pike, who also appeared alongside James Bond in Die Another Day. Another VIP was the most known Czech singer Karel Gott, who celebrated his 66th birthday on the Vltava river. The South Bohemian Philharmonic Orchestra, which played Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi on the wooden raft, also showed our trust. Last but not least, we had the opportunity to ride ambassadors or employees of the embassies of the USA, Japan, Portugal or Greece.

Great wooden rafting experience with nice and friendly guides. They also do tours in English and take Euros in case you've run out of local currency like me on your last day 😉

The floater tour was an amazing experience. Especially because we were lucky enough to be guided by the owner’s son himself. He made the trip unforgettable with his professional commentary,... interesting facts and funny jokes and legends. We were awarded not only by great views of the evening city but as well by singing of the two guides at the end! Very much recommended 🫶read more

Sehr nett. Wir hatten die 2 Std Tour. Highlight ist die Durchfahrt der Altstadt und die kleinen netten Bars am Rande. Auch die Wehrdurchfahrten sind spannend. Es hat jedoch die Tour wenig mit echtem... Rafting zu tun... nass wird man aber schon 😜Preis jedoch schon etwas zu hochread more

Profesjonalne podejście do klienta zarówno od strony organizacji spływu - możliwość rezerwacji całkowicie on-line - jak i obsługi na miejscu. Pracownicy bardzo uprzejmi i pomocni. Klienci otrzymują... nie tylko kapok, ale też torbę nieprzemakalną na rzeczy w kajaku. Dzięki wielkie za super wrażenia.read more

A wonderfully pleasant treat to take this leisurely ride through the river. Mike our host gave us a lovely commentary of the buildings, floods that occurred, and the history of this picturesque... village! Your choice of wine, beer, juice or soft drinks were also included. We were blessed to have the river “all to ourselves” as we heard that during the summer, the influx of tourists can cause quite the congestion. If you can afford the time, don’t miss out!read more

Popłynęliśmy w trójkę pontonem z Czeskiego Krumlowa do Złotej Korony. Świetny sprzęt, doskonale przygotowany. Dobrze dopasowane kamizelki. Pani z obsługi dokładnie objaśniła wszelkie przeszkody.... Trasa niesamowita - trzy jazy z przepływkami, liczne meandry. Wzdłuż rzeki wiele knajpek, gdzie można przybić, zacumować i coś przekąsić. No i trochę ludzi na rzece - zawsze jest komu odkrzyknąć "Ahoj". Cena raczej typowa na Krumlow - znaczy niezbyt tanio, ale naprawdę warto.read more

물결이 잔잔할 때 탔더니 노를 많이 저어야 해서 힘들었어요ㅠㅠㅎ 비 온 다음 날 추천합니다ㅎㅎ 1~2시간 코스로 했는데 가격이 점점 오르는지 1인당 480코루나였어요!가격은 생각했던 것보다 비싸긴 했지만 강에서 체스키 풍경을 바라볼 수 있어서 좋았습니다!아참, 카드 안 되고 온리 캐쉬라서 근처 atm에서 뽑았더니 수수료가 125코루나나 되네요ㅠㅠ... 현금 미리 준비하시길..그리고 마지막 출발시간이 오후 4시입니다!!늦어서 못 탈 뻔 했네요ㅠㅠ신청하면 차타고 이동하고, 보트타고 내려오면 양조장 지나서 끝나는데 거기서는 걸어서 이동하면 돼요~ 참고하세요~~read more

我參加了城市遊覽這套短行程（約30分鐘），很推薦，難度不高但帶一點小刺激，可以用另一個角度欣賞這個美麗的城鎮，非常棒的體驗，服務人員在下船前的解說也很清楚，值得一試。

Recommended this place if you don't know the area well and want just a quick canoe trip. Quick booking process, they drove us to the starting point and picked pur canoe too. Happy with the service,... maybe a little pricey, especially the short canoe trips. But overall we were very happy.read more
