Marine soldiers on a raft trip: A unique Munich adventure!
There was a lot going on in Wolfratshausen at the weekend, as a group of marine soldiers from Eckernförde came to visit. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Commander Karsten Bammann with a total of eleven members, they set out to get to know the Loisachstadt better. This time a special raft trip to Munich was on the agenda. How Mercury reports, the event was intended as a social encounter with the sponsors and was accompanied by AWO members and mountain riflemen.
The trip was not only a social gathering, but also filled with exciting offers. The soldiers enjoyed a tour of Bad Tölz and were given an insight into the mountain rescue center. A special highlight was the visit to the Munich city birthday party, which perfectly embodied the combination of tradition and festivity.
At home on the rivers
Rafting trips – an entertaining but also strenuous undertaking! So reported nn.de that steering a raft requires skill. The tradition of rafting has a long history in the region and provides a sense of both adventure and community. The rafting could be similar to the historical steamboat and raft trips on the Oder, which are organized by the culture and tourism platform Oderberg Office be commended.
The Oder is not only known for its impressive landscapes, but also offers a rich history that is appreciated by explorers and nature lovers alike. Historic steamboat trips and authentic raft trips allow passengers to observe rare birds and the untouched floodplain landscape. The experience on the water allows you to relax and enjoy nature, which for many is a welcome change from our hectic everyday lives.
A reunion in Wolfratshausen
This is not the first time the Marine soldiers have been in Wolfratshausen. They always show an interest in the transitions between city and nature and maintain the traditions of the region - most recently they were guests at the Christmas market in December. A delegation from the city of Eckernförde had already visited the fleet service boat in May, which offers the best conditions for exchange.
Overall, through such events, Wolfratshausen offers the framework for a lively exchange between the military and civil society, which is certainly a benefit not only for the marine soldiers, but also for the city.
