Did you know? The Kölnbrein Dam is recognised as the highest bungee jumping site in the world, situated at just over 2,000 metres above sea level. Nestled in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, it overlooks the Malta Valley and its scenic road, the Malta High Alpine Road, in Carinthia. It is therefore not only an ideal spot for an adrenaline-fuelled bungee jumping experience, but also for taking in exceptional mountain scenery! From the Kölnbreinspitze (2,934 m) and the Grosser Hafner (3,076 m) to many other snow-capped peaks, the panorama over the Malta Valley is simply breathtaking. So how does combining a rush of adrenaline with extraordinary scenery sound, on this bungee jumping experience at the Kölnbrein Dam?
Rupert Hirner's team has been operating at the Kölnbrein Dam since 1998, delivering this experience that thrill-seekers travel to the region for with unmatched professionalism. The jump takes place from a secured gondola, lifted by a crane positioned on the dam. From there, you will be able to take in the full scale of the structure and its surroundings before launching yourself into the void from 165 metres up, for a freefall lasting barely 5 seconds. That may sound brief, but you certainly won't notice during the jump itself, when you can reach speeds of up to 120 km/h! Do you think you have what it takes to tackle this most sensational of adventures in the heart of Austria?
Open to participants from the age of 16, this bungee jump at the Kölnbrein Dam will give you an electrifying experience set against a stunning alpine backdrop. So if you are after an adrenaline fix in Carinthia, make sure you head up the Malta High Alpine Road and take part in an adventure that takes place only a few days a year!
