General Information
The wild waters in the Gesäuse National Park are left to their own devices and are largely unregulated. As a result, rare species such as the common sandpiper can settle in the waters or along the banks and find their scarce habitat there. For this reason, special nature conservation measures are also required around the water bodies. Therefore, bathing in the Enns is only allowed at the marked spots.
In addition, there is a wide range of water sports which are permitted in close coordination with nature conservation. Rafting, boat trips and kayaking are possible on the Enns. However, due to the nature conservation guidelines only the marked entry and exit points are accessible. In the sense of the sensitive nature we ask you to observe these rules!
Rafting and other commercial water sports activities are to be carried out in the National Park in an environmentally friendly manner and are therefore only possible by arrangement with the National Park Authority. These are currently reserved for members of the "Styrian Rafting Association".
