The Alps are not only one of the most fascinating and diverse natural and cultural landscapes in Europe, but - by the way - despite numerous reservoirs and hydroelectric power stations, they are also a first-class white water area. From France to Slovenia, the Alpine arc stretches across eight countries and countless peaks, valleys and rivers. Far too many rivers to be able to pack all the interesting stretches between two book covers. This canoe guide therefore concentrates on the rivers in the north of the Alps between the Surselva in Graubünden and the Salzkammergut - which, thanks to the central location of the northern Alps, can be reached without climate-damaging flights or endless car journeys.

Whether deep gorges, massive cataracts or sunny gravel banks, everyone who loves wild water is guaranteed to get their money's worth in this book. In eight compact regions around recommendable base camps, this river guide describes the most beautiful routes with first-class pictures and maps for every requirement, from beginners to experts, from players to fallers.

There are more than 90 described routes from easy to difficult to choose from. First-class photos create a taste for paddling, water maps for every tour help with tour planning and orientation. In addition to detailed information on the character of the river, dangers and logistics, tips for the time on land are not neglected.
