We went canyoning with 9 “mid-fourty canyoning dummies” and we had a more adventurous day full of fun and adventure than any of us expected. Most of us even did the 12 meter high jump of a cliff!

did not expect it to be so adventurous! We had very good guides and were jumping into the river from up to 10m. Also the abseil part was well explained an save! You must be able to swim and be at least a little bit sporty.

We were a group of 4 including our guide. Our guide was nice, funny and knew what he was doing. He explained everything very well and made sure we felt save and comfortable. The canyon looks beautiful and the water we went through is crystal clear. The jumps from 6/10/12 meters into the water were the highlight of the tour in my opinion (Sidenote: if you don't want to jump, it is also possible to lower down on a rope). All in all a great day!
