Otztal: Austrian whitewater paradize

Right after the Red Bull Dolomiten Mann I went to paddle with Arnd Schaeftlein not that far from Lienz, Austria, before heading to Otztal valley for a sick kayaking week and then drive north to the Nurnberg Germany for the KanuMesse.

The program of the week in the Otztal valley was really simple, paddle for fun and let the camera in the car!!
Let me say you that was a freaking sick kayaking week, pure descents, perfect water levels to enjoy lot of section of the Oetz river, and for glory a pretty strong Wellerbrucke rapid!!!


Grilled meat and german beers, what else do you wanna ask for??


Max Siech's burger... faaaat!!
