Course of the canyoning tour

We will meet at our Black Sheeps Adventures base in Wildalpen at the agreed time.
This is followed by filling in the list of participants, providing basic information.
Participants will be given the necessary equipment (Each person guarantees that the equipment is of the correct size and complete. Incompleteness of equipment is a hindrance to canyoning.)
Transportation by own cars to the parking lot under the canyon follows.
Change of clothes – we recommend a towel and a swimsuit, changing is usually done in the car park.
Walking to the canyon – here we take only things that can get wet. On warmer days, walking in swimwear is recommended, and lighter e.g. Functional t-shirt. The equipment is then carried in hands or slung on the back.
Before entering the canyon itself, there will be a safety training on how to move in the canyon and a rappelling test
Off we go, let’s do it!
After passing the canyon we walk back to the car. Changing clothes and handing over the equipment to the guide. Farewell.
The option to shower at the Black Sheeps Adventures base in Wildalpen.

Rotmoosbach Canyon

Forest canyon of aquatic character. After the training and practical testing of rappeling techniques, there is a walking passage with smaller slides and swimming pools.

Seven Dwarfs Canyon

A forest canyon of a more aquatic character, it starts with a 5m jump into the Salza, followed by a 200 m swim in the river WWII (with life jackets). The ascent along the forest path follows. The descent through the canyon itself takes 1.5-2h, and includes a number of smaller slides and rappels. On the way back you have to swim across the river again (in a shorter section). Swimming sections can be avoided for a fee of 7,50€/person – paid entry to the waterfalls.
