Journey of the water

After the eternal ice on the glaciers and firn fields of the Hohe Tauern are melted by the sun, and the mountain lakes become too full, the water makes its way into the valley.

Still and Standing

Water in its most breathtaking form, as glacial ice, has been covering vast areas of the Hohe Tauern high mountains for many centuries, opening up a breathtaking world of experience. When the eternal ice retreats, SILENT WATER remains. The retreat of the glaciers has created up to 150 mountain lakes in the Karen and on the high plateaus of the Hohe Tauern.

Wild & Sporty

The “Wild Waters” in the Hohe Tauern are not only breathtakingly beautiful, powerful and fascinating, but on their way from the mountain into the valley, the water forms an adventure world for water sports enthusiasts, which is second to none. From canyoning in gorges and gorges to canoeing on the Drava, the palette is enough for everyone to choose just the right thing.
