Kayaking in the Styrian Salza Valley, at the foot of the Hochschwab. On sunny days, the Salza sparkles emerald green and you are accompanied by a unique backdrop along the northern side of the Hochschwab. Rugged, towering rock faces, covered with colourful alpine flowers and rich wildlife, make Wildalpen a great natural wonder. Three wonderful campsites located directly on the Salza await you in Wildalpen – all with new sanitary facilities:

Camping Wildalpen in Wildalpen (looking upstream on the left bank of the Salza)
Wildwasserzentrum Naturfreunde Österreich in Wildalpen (looking upstream on the right bank of the Salza)
Camping Nachbagauer in Brunn (3 km from Wildalpen)
