WATER ADVENTURE IN THE LESACHTAL VALLEY
The Gail flows as a wild river through the most natural valley in Europe - and as one of the most attractive rivers in the Alpine region, it offers ideal conditions for boundless kayaking fun. The tour starts in Maria Luggau. From there, various sections of different levels of difficulty lead to Kötschach. The professional signposting system includes a total of seven access and exit points as well as other important information for kayaking on the river Gail.
Please note: The river Gail has changed considerably after the storm disaster at the end of October 2018. It is currently only possible to kayak below St. Lorenzen. For more information, please contact Fit und Fun:
