Abseilen von der Schlucht und Sprünge ins kalte Quellwasser Adrenalin pur und ein absolutes geiles Abenteuer :)

We started by repelling down the rock face into the Gorge and swimming through the waters below. There were two height levels with two jump points. The adrenaline is thrilling and inspires you to go again and jump from higher! The river trek was a peaceful and exciting journey through the rapids and over boulders. One of the best things I’ve ever done!

Due to high water, canyoning wasn't actually possible. Instead, we did some rapelling from the walls down into the gorge and there were two optional jumps into the water. One rapel down a waterfall with a jump into white water was pretty cool, so all in all it was a quite enjoyable experience. The gorge itself is absolutely beautiful and well worth the trip! We went on a few more canyoning trips, but this was definitely the most beautiful one! But if you're only interested in the canyoning itself, don't go here in May.

Abseiling and jumping in to the water was good fun and its a beautiful spot up by the waterfall - certainly the only way to get that close. Abseiling itself was not too challenging so good for younger kids and those who were nervous.
