Lammer

Location:
From Salzburg drive south on the highway. After 20 minutes you reach the exit Golling. Leave the highway and follow the signs to Abtenau. After a short drive you reach the Lammer, which runs on your the right side of you. Now it depends on you, how far you drive upriver - look in the general part for more details.
Suitability:
Kayaking
River Description:
General:
Waldschlucht II - III
Downrivers to Voglau II
Voglauer Canyon III
Voglau to Lammeröfen II - III
Lammeröfen IV/IV+

We describe you the easiest way through the Lammeröfen for you first-time-trip (a water level of 145 - 155 cm is perfect). You can paddle other routes as well, because there better routes for playing and getting washed.

The drop at the entrance - right, and I mean really right; the rapid at the beginning - paddle to middle/left side of the river and stay there until you reach the flat water in the rocky dome. Just enjoy the scenic outlook there and paddle orward; the drop at the end of the dome - stay on the right side of the wet stone; The cataract - start in the middle of the river and when you reach the turn, paddle to the right side (the stopper at the end is no problem); Elefantenzähne (elephant's teeth)- paddle on the right side of the big rock (the one in the middle of the river), because if you paddle on the left side then you can get stuck; small drop - paddle through it; the small S - paddle on the left side directly through the small stopper; the S - stay left to prevent the small stopper. Then surf on the bigger stopper to the right side and then back to the left (the current will do this for you ...). The Hole - stay left and paddle on (or enjoy a nice squirt); The final drop - paddle on and fly in the middle (boofing is OK). The exit - avoid the rocks on the left side.... That's it !!! You did your first Lammeröfen-trip, now come on and paddle it again.

Special Dangers:
When there is high water, don't play as hard as normal in the Lammeröfen, but we checked every part of the canyon in- and outside of our boats ... but watch out for logs. If there is low water then be warned that the catarakt is shallow and rocky (there are some victims...)

After Kayaking:
Engelhart Wirt (follow the signs at the water level). Tip of the day: Pizza with spinach
Sorry, but the Engelhart Wirt is history and so we lost the best meeting-place ...
