Raus

Born from a shared desire to escape the relentless pace of urban life, Raus emerged as a sanctuary for those yearning for a deeper connection with nature. The story begins with three friends, Christopher Eilers, Johann Ahlers, and Julian Trautwein, who, having spent considerable time living and working in bustling cities, found themselves increasingly drawn to the tranquility of the countryside. They recognized a universal need for accessible, restorative spaces that could offer a genuine break from the daily grind. This shared vision sparked the creation of Raus, a hospitality-tech startup designed to provide seamless getaways into nature without sacrificing comfort or modern conveniences. Their mission was clear: to offer city dwellers a chance to spontaneously trade the concrete jungle for serene landscapes, to unwind, and to rediscover the simple joys of being outdoors.

What started as a simple idea has since blossomed into a thriving platform offering thoughtfully designed, sustainable cabins nestled in picturesque locations across Germany and Austria. Raus is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience meticulously crafted to foster mindfulness and well-being. The founders' passion for the outdoors is evident in every detail, from the eco-friendly construction of the cabins to the fully digitized, hassle-free booking process. They envisioned a retreat where guests could effortlessly disconnect from their to-do lists and reconnect with themselves and the natural world. Backed by a host of prominent investors from the travel and tech industries, including the founders of Airbnb and Tourlane, Raus is on a journey to redefine what it means to take a break. It’s a narrative of appreciating the quiet moments, the clean air, and the vast, open spaces that lie just beyond the city limits, inviting everyone to find their own piece of tranquility.
