Tour programme
- Preparation:
We meet at 8 am to brief you on the upcoming adventure and give you our high-quality equipment. After a 15-minute drive to the canyon parking lot, we do our 1-hour approach walk under the sun.
- Tour:
Then we gear up and enter the canyon with a 10m abseil, a remarkable S-shaped slide, among many different kinds of natural slides. After a small picnic, we have the opportunity to jump up from 8m high (optional) and the slide with the graphic name "particle accelerator". Finally, the zip line with a landing in the water is 20m high and 35m long, giving you the biggest emotional kick of the day.

We can finish the tour by changing at the river and walk 10 minutes to the parking lot.
