Canyoning on the Taglesbach
Jumping, sliding and abseiling in the Taglesbach – the perfect canyoning tour for sporty beginners and adventure seekers.
Canyoning on the Taglesbach in Lower Austria – our most popular tour, with everything included.
The Taglesbach is one of the classic canyoning tours and offers everything that makes for a real adventure: jumps into crystal-clear pools, natural water slides and spectacular abseiling sections.
This varied tour in the Ötscher region is ideal for sporty beginners, but is also a real highlight for experienced canyoning enthusiasts. In summer in particular, the abundance of water provides the perfect way to cool off and ensures maximum fun.
A particular highlight is the famous ‘corkscrew’ abseil, which is guaranteed to stay in your memory.
