It looks similar to Lymexylon navale, but not exactly the same.

Hello, eguzki!
It's a soldier beetle (Cantharidae), genus
Rhagonycha
. If photographed here in Germany, I would say
R. lignosa
. They are active here at the moment, too.

Rh. lignosa is ok - similar species you can find only on higher mountains. Best regards Frank
