The Alpine region is still the Eldorado of European whitewater paddlers. Nowhere else can canoeists find such a high concentration of paddling torrents of all levels of difficulty as in Austria and Switzerland. Classics such as Rissbach, Salzach and Inn are included as well as one or the other “insider tip”. But there are also some well-known and lesser-known migratory rivers such as the Danube, Drau, Mur and Rhone. Of course, these should not be missing in this canoe guide.

The DKV foreign guide Austria/Switzerland is the standard work for canoe trips in the region: It follows the concept of the DKV river guide, which has sold more than 300 copies. Abandoning extensive subjective descriptions, he gives a systematic overview of the almost 000 bodies of water of interest for canoeing in the area that includes Austria and Switzerland (including the Italian rivers of Ticino). The character of the water body and difficulties, gradients and possible usage regulations are described. Favorable entry and exit points, weirs, danger spots, but also places to rest and stay overnight are listed along precise kilometres.
