"Reisefieber" (Travel nerves, lit. Travel fever) is a song by Die Toten Hosen. It's the only single and the fourth track from their debut album Opel-Gang.

The song is about a man who likes to travel a lot and is adventurous, but goes too far to sea and is killed by a wave. A while after the discovery of his body, everything goes on normally for everyone else.

There's also an English version of the song, titled "Seafever".
