And in the Toros shop just outside Munich you will find a very solid selection of boats, paddles and equipment of every kind.

Herbert Rittlinger wrote paddling history on the great wild rivers of Turkey. And for me, too, when I was in my early 20s, the folding boat tour on the Euphrates was the beginning of a long relationship. Turkey leaves no time for slow rapprochement. Anyone who dares to venture a short way into the hinterland instead of disappearing from the holiday plane into the world of all-inclusive resorts will not escape the charm of the Orient. The warmth and hospitality of the Turks are legendary, the beauty of nature is - fortunately - often still unknown to the mainstream tourism.

The beginnings …

I have been traveling by boat in Turkey for fifteen years now. The love for the Taurus Mountains, the Toros Daglari, is reflected in the name of my company. Since 2012 I have also expanded the program to include the neighboring countries Greece and Georgia. Although Greece has been one of the classic paddling destinations in southern Europe since the pioneers around Sepp Schächner, the inaccessible gorges of Pindos and Peloponnese are unknown to many. Greece has an enormous river density, the mountain landscapes are among the wildest and most beautiful on the continent.

Georgia as a travel destination, however, is only just getting started. Against the backdrop of the Caucasus, the country is bursting with abundance of water. Diverse mountain landscapes from gently rolling hills to glacier game offer something for every taste. The legacy of socialism, which is present everywhere, ensures a very special travel flair.

Albania


Albania is the youngest destination on the Toros Outdoors tour schedule. The small but extremely mountainous strip of land east of the Adriatic is a real paddle jewel. Steep creeks in the north, magical canyons in the south - there are only landscape six in Albania. And seriously: In the hinterland, the Wild East still deserves its name ...

In all four countries I offer guided tours between WW II and IV +. I also like to help paddlers who travel individually with information on rivers, logistics and accommodation.

Have fun on Toros Outdoors,
Christopher Scheuermann.
