Gesaeuseeingang 1km WW 4 + to 5 The Gesaeuseeingang is one of the largest Felsdurchbrueche in Austria. The 1st Descent should be performed only at summer water levels (about 40-70 m3 / s). It is divided into two cataracts. The 1 Cataract is best paddled from right to left into a long "S". Anyone here have difficulties, can then still go up the street. In the 2nd Cataract, there are several possibilities : the two simplest I will describe shortly. You start right at the water's edge about three waves of the left paddle to shore. There, you can achieve an eddy to catch, then between a small stone which is just from the shore to the right edge of the roll, (which is almost as over the entire river) past, directly on the pyramid (pyramid-like stone in mid-river) to about their impact pad right into the eddy from there to the right bank, right at the stone with a splash pad and just past the Marterlwalze. Anyone who wants can also set the line about the Twisted choose is by far cooler right after the next pyramid beoofen about the S-shaped roll right into the eddy. Eyes and go! If necessary, roll quickly with long arm to after that to get its passage through the Marterlwalze. In no case go left here, because the lower water is very dirty! Once at the bottom hand up, looking forward and down into the Rodeo site.

After that is the entry for beginners WW 1 / 2 After two kilometer is the John Bach-web first possible exit. At high tide here is a nice surf wave. Here you can also very well up and setting. In the neighborhood, the inn is to Bachbruecke where to paddle before or after can still strengthen. WW 2 initially, then increase the difficulty of WW 3 - in the avalanche splash.

Kummerbruecke upper (800 m long) WW4 + to 5 - (6 - to X) The Kummerbruecke is as heavy white water. WW 4 + and 5 - (for stronger water charges WW 6-X). The first descent is ideal for a discharge amount of 25 to 35 cubic meters per second or less. It is similar to the Devil's Canyon to the village is. One should paddle this route is best mates with local knowledge, as several siphons are hidden on the route. I would like but the main points described in order to facilitate a first descent. The first, which is located under the railway bridge, you drive by the middle of the river to the left over the double step into the eddy. After a few sleepers is the bottleneck. Here you have two options on the left edge of the river over two small tongues into eddies, or at the first roll over the tongue right straight to the big stone and through the same bottleneck right around the corner. The second way I find beautiful and also a lot easier. After 30m follows the siphon cataract, this one does best on the far right, so you can escape the trap and the other dropping considerably driveways. Then turn right into the eddy, the recent drop in the second passage from the right and left Boof. It follows easily Monoblocked WW and after 200 m followed by the final stage. The transformation which has this year! It takes you right now and no more left, left the place is very steckgefaehrlich. So my friends, the wara € ™ s the Dameneinstart is reached.
