Do you think we can only go east? You don't know us well! Long before the Scheuer became a Bavarian, there was one travel destination in the summer: southern France and the Aosta Valley! Well, old love doesn't rust. At the beginning of September the most beautiful rivers between the highest mountains granted us an audience, and we also checked the Mont Blanc region for Toros suitability. Et voilá, on y va!

In the middle of the pandemic, we set out on new shores. Toros Outdoors celebrated its Pyrenees premiere in June 2021. Pure sunshine melts the snow in late spring even at high altitudes and gives us wonderful days of paddling on Esera, Noguera Pallaresa and of course the king of the Pyrenees, the Rio Ara.
Having lead many groups to the beautiful rivers of Turkey during the last years, I embarked for new adventures in autumn 2010. After the arrival in Trabzon, the Black Sea capital of Turkey in the far North-East, I left Anatolia by land and crossed the border to a country which is about becoming very popular [...]
2011, mid of July: The snow melt in the Alps has widely finished, European white water kayakers climb the glacial valleys in Tyrol and French Alps to hunt class V rivers. 2700 kilometers to the east six advocates bums doze in an overheated dorm in downtown Tbilisi. Last night's flight was longer than expected. Strong wind in Istanbul delayed both flights for hours, the airport chaos also took us four bags with some t-shirts and paddle gear. That shouldn't stop us from discovering the rivers in one of the most beautiful countries on that planet: Georgia, the unknown kayak paradise in the heart of the Caucasus. Five hours later we find ourselves at the put-in of Pshavis Aragvi 60 kilometers north of the capital.

The Arachthos – a classic of Greek white water? – Things used to be different! Reports from the beginnings of the kayaking destination Greece from 2013
The journey continues on the highlands of central Georgia. The advocates explore the desert rivers Paravani and Mtkvari and visit the cultural heritage of Vardzia.
One of the greatest assets of the travel destination Georgia is its variety in landscape, culture and climate. Georgia is so small, you can easily cross it within one day, yet you experience all forms of nature. Huge glaciers dominate the northern ranges in Svaneti and Tusheti, formidable wines are produced in hilly Kakheti, more to the East hot dry deserts border with Azerbaidshan. On the Black Sea coast instead, the hot and very humid climate makes you feel in the Tropics. Experts say that the south-western republic of Adjara hosts the best valleys for steep creeking. As raining season peaks in winter and early spring, this is the time to find epic water levels in the lush green jungle of Adjara. We make the journey over the spectacular 2024 meter high Goderzi pass anyway, knowing that we can hop to Turkish Kackar mountains for some days if water proves to be low.
