Summer vacation water sports: with action guarantee for fun athletes from 12 years

Conquering white water in gorges, riding waves and jumping over your own shadow in the wet element: The Lammer near Abtenau is a varied river that offers all sorts of surprises depending on the water level. Professional, experienced outdoor providers ensure that big and small adventurers safely master all challenges that arise when rafting, tubing, riverbug, canyoning and hydrospeed.

Fun sports in Abtenau: water sports on Lammer and Salzach

Rafting on the Lammer River or, when the water level is low, on the Salzach River is a great adventure for teens 14 and older (12 and older must be accompanied by an adult). With an experienced tour guide, you'll tackle everything from calm and challenging sections to full-blown rapids. A rafting tour in Abtenau lasts 3-4 hours; the best months are May and June, and also throughout the summer after heavy rainfall.
The Riverbug (from New Zealand) is not only a lot of fun, but also an extremely capable whitewater kayak: maneuverable, versatile, and capable of pretty much anything you can do in a kayak. The Riverbug is easy to learn and forgiving even for small mistakes.
Tubing: A great alternative to rafting when the water level is low. Kids 12 and older (10 and older accompanied by an adult) and adults can ride in inflatable tubes for 3-4 hours through foamy and still waters, accompanied by a guide.
Hydrospeed puts you at the heart of the river! On the hydrospeed, the sporty version of the good old kickboard, you'll zip downstream at close to the water's surface. For all adrenaline junkies ages 14 and up (12 and up accompanied by an adult), the best months are May and June, and after heavy rain throughout the summer. Duration: 3-4 hours.
