The Adventure
From calm passages to gentle rapids – the Traun Gorge offers a unique blend of adventure, tranquillity and nature. Kingfishers, damselflies and rare plants accompany you through one of the last untouched river ecosystems in Central Europe.
European Bird Sanctuary
The Lower Traun is a Natura 2000 site under European protection – 12 river kilometres of pristine riverbanks, floodplain forests and crystal-clear water. Our tours are designed to experience this habitat without disturbing it. Slow tourism: paddle quietly, observe, marvel.
Flora & Fauna
Kingfisher
The "flying jewel" – flagship species of the reserve. With luck, spotted while paddling.
Demoiselle Damselfly
The beautiful demoiselle indicates the exceptional water quality of the Traun.
Common Merganser
Skilfully dives for fish in the clear Traun – please keep your distance!
Mallard Ducks
Constant companions on the Traun – frequently spotted along the entire route.
Cultural History on the River
Since the Middle Ages, salt from the Salzkammergut was transported down the Traun on flat-bottomed Zillen boats. The salt warehouses in Stadl-Paura bear witness to this heritage – and the once-feared Traun Falls are now the starting point of our tours.
Points of Interest Along the Way
On the Way of St. James
The Traun lies along the Austrian Way of St. James – a connection that perfectly fits our philosophy. Slow tourism means taking your time, consciously absorbing your surroundings and savouring the moment.
Whether on foot or on the water: the Lower Traun is a place of deceleration. Pilgrims and paddlers share the same path – only the medium is different.
Lambach Benedictine Abbey
Lambach Benedictine Abbey has stood above the Traun for over 950 years. It is one of the most significant monasteries in Upper Austria – with Romanesque frescoes, a baroque abbey church and an impressive abbey theatre.
For groups, we offer a combination tour: paddling on the Traun followed by a visit to the abbey. Culture and nature in one day.
