    Many activities above are done along the riverside, but tubester offers you a chance to really do something on the river. If picnics on the riverbank do not pique your interest, you can take your picnic on the river. Each tube-boat has enough space for 6 people with a big parasol protecting you from the sunshine. Having a picnic while surrounded by the beautiful scenery is so romantic and peaceful especially in the evening.

  • Drinking alcohol with your friends
