Voucher / Appointment

When searching for gold, your guide will show you how to pan for gold from seemingly ordinary gravel. After a short introduction, you'll head to the best spots for Gold Panning. You'll fill your pan with gravel and be amazed at how quickly you can pick out the first glittering flakes. After searching for gold, you can use the on-site fire pit (participants bring their own food) before moving on to Gold Panning with a sluice in the afternoon. Who would have thought you could wash even more gold from the river with this method? At the end of the day, you naturally get to take home the gold you found and a gold panning certificate. Gold Panning with the whole family or your friends promises to be a unique experience. Let the golden sparkle captivate you and experience the magic of searching for gold!

We had a wonderful day in the Napf region. Our instructor Dominik was perfect at showing us how Gold Panning works. He supported us with a lot of humor during our first attempts, encouraged us, and had incredible patience. He gave us lots of tips and helped everyone find a few flakes of gold. Dominik took care of the fire right on time, and at 12:00 PM, we could put our Cervelats on the grill. A huge thank you for this unforgettable day, everything was just perfect!
