Canyoning in the Oberallgäu

Canyoning - an action-packed event for sporty nature lovers

Jumping, climbing and sliding - these are the most important elements of canyoning, also known as gorge hiking or gorge rafting. The Startzlachklamm gorge tour in the picturesque Oberallgäu region is one of the most popular canyoning hotspots and is suitable for beginners. The action-packed outdoor events can be organised from May to October with a provider of your choice.

Canyonauts - tour start from Sonthofen

You start at the railway station in Sonthofen. From there, it's about a ten-minute walk along Eichendorffstraße to the meeting point at the Canyonauten. Before you set off, your guide will provide you with all the equipment you need. Safety first applies to this sport! Note: Contact the canyonauts in advance so that the team can organise the transfer for the canyoning group to the car park in Sonthofen Winkel. Participants will get a very clear picture of what to expect on the way to the start. If there are any concerns, there is the option to skip the middle section and take the hiking trail.

MAP-Erlebnis - Tour start from Burgberg

The MAP-Erlebnis outdoor team also has the canyoning tour in the Starzlachklamm gorge in its programme. The starting point for this action-packed event is the Headquater in Illerstraße, which is just a 20-minute walk from Blaichach railway station. Again, coordinate with the provider before the start of the tour to organise the transfer to the starting point for everyone involved. From there, you will travel together to the boarding point in Burgberg. Your guide will give you a detailed safety briefing on site. Now nothing stands in the way of an unforgettable mountain adventure for action lovers.

Brave air jumps, flavoursome craft beer and a culinary ship

The Starzlachklamm gorge is synonymous with action and adrenalin in a breathtaking natural setting. This makes it the ideal setting for an exciting excursion into nature. Various techniques are used during canyoning: in some places you abseil or climb, sometimes you slide over smoothly polished rocks or jump from lofty heights into the refreshing river basin. The Starzlachklamm gorge tour has it all - you first abseil down the water jet directly above a ten metre high waterfall. Those who pass this first acid test will also master the 18 metre long rock slide at the end of the route with sporty ease. Plan between three and five hours for the tour. After these adrenaline kicks between steep rocks, at lofty heights and in cool water, you will have more than earned a delicious beer. After returning to the canyonauts' centre in Sonthofen, you can stop off at the multi-award-winning craft beer restaurant s'handwerk. The home-made beers and dishes taste particularly delicious in the lovingly furnished ambience. The restaurant is just a 15-minute walk from the canyoning hire centre and is the perfect location to celebrate your jumps from lofty heights. Afterwards, it's a ten-minute walk to Sonthofen railway station. From there, the train takes adventurers back home.

South Sea feeling in the middle of Bavaria

Participants on the MAP adventure tour can round off their canyoning event on board the bright yellow Zum Schiff restaurant. The original restaurant is located right next to the outdoor provider and offers both traditional, hearty dishes and exotic meals. It also has an inviting outdoor area: on warm days, the terrace with its heated wave benches and mosaic decorations exudes a real South Sea feeling. After an action-packed day in the Starznach Gorge, you return to Blaichach railway station for a relaxing journey home.
