Salza River, UNESCO Geopark Styrian Eisenwurzen
The Salza River is one the few natural wild rivers among the Eastern Alps. It originates in the Türnitz Alps withi the municipality of St. Aegyd in Lower Austria near the border of Styria. The river´s lenght amounts to total 88 kilometres. The Salza river passes trough the Nature & UNESCO Geopark Styrian Eisenwurzen from Gußwerk (municipality of Mariazell) to the river´s mouth in Enns near Großreifling in the municipality of Landl.
The valley of the Salza river forms a deep gorge in the surrounding mountains. It offers insights into the rock strata of the Limestone Alps, the enormous forces which led to the formation of the Alps as well as the force of flowing water and deposits of the Ice Age.

Gabriel's rafting adventure began in 2018 on his home river, the Dunajec. Since then, he's taken on canoe trips and explored the Tara River in Bosnia and Herzegovina, staying true to the river lifestyle.
When he's not on the water, Gabriel’s hitting the slopes for his other passion—skiing.

Denis hit the rapids in 2017 on Slovakia’s Dunajec River and never looked back. He’s tackled the icy currents of the glacier Isel River in Osttirol and, in 2023, set his sights on creating Dennyrafting.
What’s his secret on the water? A chill, easygoing vibe that keeps things fun and stress-free.
Off the river? He’s all about meeting awesome people from around the world.
