Two other pools are available as well – the adventure pool in Obervellach and Kolbnitz outdoor pool – just a short drive or bus ride away.
Canyoning – in the tracks of the wild water
On the wild waters that whoosh down from the mountains and into the valley, there is a whole gamut of adventures to experience. After the snow and ice in the mountains have been melted by the sun, the water then makes its way into the valley. This creates numerous ravines and gorges that you ought to get to know a little better while canyoning. Experienced canyoning guides take you with them and kit you out with everything you need to enjoy exciting times on the wild waters. Small stages are tackled with “jumps”, while lofty terrain edges are abseiled down. And anyone who lets themselves in on this adventure, who is surefooted and has a head for heights, can look forward to adventure-packed excursions in these unique natural surroundings.
Rafting – when the wild waters become calmer
As soon as the wild waters leave the straits of the ravines and gorges, they come together at the Möll. The River Möll is not only one of the cleanest waterbodies in the country, it is also very well-known in wild water circles. Rafting is one of the loveliest ways to tackle the Möll. As a group experience or an excursion for all the family, experienced rafting guides take you with them and show you the beauty of our region from the river. Challenging sections in the river are overcome with some expertise and experience, and duly discussed at the ‘get-together’ afterwards.
Wildwasserarena Möll – Water sports par excellence
The Möll can also be quite a different experience – the unique Wildwasserarena in Flattach is well-known in wild water circles and was set up to cater for the needs of top-class athletes from across the globe. The Wildwasserarena incorporates several “lines” and an internationally renowned slalom kayak route, on which high calibre competitions are held.
