How paradoxical — sometimes excitingly wild, then calmingly peaceful — the element of water can be in Salzburg’s Saalachtal valley. Wild sprays and raging waves during canyoning, kayaking or rafting, pump the adrenaline through each and every vein in one’s body. Peaceful tranquillity at the bottomless mountain lakes and the historic hermitages during a relaxing hiking trip allows for an inside look into the region’s water-rich history.
