Canoeing & river tours
--------------------------

### in the most beautiful waters of Upper Austria

On the Enns and Steyr rivers, the 360° Alpine landscape shows its moving side. In a canoe, you are directly connected to the water - manoeuvrable, fast and alert. The narrow design allows you to steer precisely through waves and rollers, but requires concentration and good teamwork in the boat.

Travelling in pairs, you feel every current directly. Every paddle stroke counts, every decision has an effect. This is exactly what makes this form of white water rafting so intense. You will be accompanied by experienced guides in a kayak or raft, who set the line and keep an eye on safety. If you lose your balance, they are quickly on hand.

The trip on the whitewater rivers in the heart of Upper Austria becomes a conscious game with the power of the water - between nature experience, team spirit and clear focus.
