Kayaking


Who were the first to practise water sports? Correct - the Eskimos have for centuries built something which is the closest in style to our modern-day canoes. They had to be able to negotiate the water and with their boats made out of animal hide they became skilled craftsmen and oarsmen. Even then, they had learned how to do the now infamous "Eskimo roll".

Sometime later - after many calm boat rides on lakes and peaceful rivers in central Europe - kayaking started to develop more and more into a sport for wild water.

Modern-day kayaking is just as specialised as many 'classical' sports. Wild water rodeo, alpine paddling, wild water slalom - at heart all these methods have one thing in common:- the desire to follow the natural movement of the water, to use its current to let oneself be carried along on a tide of elation.

Kayaking is the unique combination of sport and wild water!







Try out Kayaking



The costs are just too high and you are not sure if you'll really take to wild water and get your money's worth.

So - put yourself to the test and see if you really want to have a go at one of the last great adventures in our organized world.

In one day you will get a quick run-through of the basic techniques as used at sea. Of course this isn't going to make a world-class kayaker out of you but it is enough to enable you to manage an easy course. You can always take another day and expand on your knowledge in a basic course.

5 Day Basic Course - The Classic



It's always difficult to begin with. Kayaking is a very complex sport and cannot easily be split up into separate movements.

For this reason we recommend every beginner
to take a longer course of tuition:

to learn the techniques, to consolidate what has been learnt, to practise safety aspects and
to gain experience.

We can guarantee a systematic learning process, steady progress thanks to the personal commitment of your kayak teacher, great fun and the best wild water
on the Saalach.
