The RadeltZurArbeit (cycling to work) team of the Department of Work, Organizational and Media Psychology won a rafting and mountainbike weekend in Ötztal, Tirol in August.
For the exiting rafting tour, team work played an important role to keep the raft on track. On the second day we cycled around 35 km to the Piburger See and enjoyed the beauty of the Ötztal.
