CANOE & KAYAK TOURS
WHITEWATER CANOEING THE SCHWARZA:
A RIVER TRIP THROUGH HÖLLENTAL CANYON
Often referred to as Little Canada of Austria, the Schwarza River in Hell’s Valley (in German: Höllental) hosts an exciting interplay of great whitewater WW I-II (III) as well as mellow sections to recreate and enjoy the surrounding nature. You will have a chance to jump into clear freshwater pools from rocks and also get to relax and swim during your float. Our guide will be happy to tell you about the canyon's rich lumberjack history, when the river was used to drift logs downstream. Adventure-feel guaranteed.

WHITEWATER CANOEING THE UPPER SALZA:
AUSTRIA'S WILD RIVER JEWEL
Come with us on an unforgettable wilderness expedition that seeks its kind in Austria. On this whitewater I-II canoe tour we will take you through the pristine and remote gorge and river valley of the upper Salza. You will experience breathtaking views in the canyon, which was carved out by the river meandering through here for millennia. Due to its sheer rock walls, there will be no roads even getting close to this section of the river. On top of being a protected area, the natural landscape has maintained a wild and untouched character rarely encountered in modern day Western Europe.
