Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment on the Salza?
The Salza cuts through the limestone gorges of Gesäuse National Park, where the current accelerates through narrow chutes and drops. Those sections are where the raft gets hit hardest and everyone on board earns their splash.
Do you need prior rafting experience?
No. The physical level is listed as 'Everybody welcome', so no previous whitewater experience is required. Your guide from Deep Roots - Adventures handles the technical decisions on the river.
How long does the rafting trip actually last?
The session runs anywhere from 3h to 7h. Confirm the exact duration with Deep Roots - Adventures when you book, since conditions on the Salza vary across the May-to-September season.
What languages does the guide speak?
The tour runs in English and German.
