Your team in the gold rush
Gold already had a strong attraction for the Romans and Celts. The fascination of the coveted precious metal remains undiminished to this day. You too can go on an unforgettable gold hunt. The gold panner leads your team to suitable places at idyllic brooks, and soon you hold self-discovered natural gold in your hands.
Lunch from the grill
Bring something for on the grill. If you wish, the barbecue can be organized for you. Around the campfire you can share your gold panning experiences. A sparkling experience for all who love adventure in nature and campfire romance.
The program around the sparkling find
At the gold panning camp, a tent with seating around a campfire, you will be greeted with guitar music from the Yukon and introduced to the topic with stories about gold panning. You will learn about gold panning techniques and then go on a gold hunt yourself. Of course, you will be equipped with the necessary equipment on site. With the gold panning channel, a shovel and a bucket, you and your team will get to work. After lunch around the campfire with guitar music and tea and coffee, you wash out the sand that has accumulated in your bucket with the gold panning pan. This is where the proper panning technique matters! The sparkling find is divided up: Each member of the gold panning team can take home a vial of gold as a memento. The event ends in a cozy atmosphere around the campfire.
