Details
Rafting in the Gesäuse National Park on the Enns river offers you a unique experience for young and old. This tour is especially suitable for families with children. You will experience light whitewater, a short excursion into a fascinating canyon and a breathtaking landscape in the heart of the National Park!
Tour Programme
We meet at our base, where you get the equipment from us, before we drive together with our busses to the entrance. After a short safety talk, we start from there. If you arrive by car, free parking is available directly at the meeting point. First, we will go down on the Enns river for a bit, before we make a small detour into a wonderfully cut canyon for a short hike. Back on the water, the river gets a bit wilder and we will master a few faster passages. After a total of about 2.5 hours we will arrive at the exit, from where we drive back to our base together. There you can shower and change, but also review the tour and the wonderful mountain panorama.Tour facts
