Visit the Tscheppaschlucht gorge in Ferlach, Carinthia, a natural jewel of a special kind! The hike through the wild and romantic gorge impressively presents the elemental force of water and is particularly recommended on hot days. The route climbs over paths, ladders and bridges, and the impressive spiral staircase, the spectacular suspension bridge and the thundering Tschauko Falls with its rock gate are the high points along the way. The hike comes to a cosy end in the Loibl or Bodental valleys. Enjoy this hike with its unique natural scenery!
Bungy jumping, an absolute must for all adventure-seekers - a jump from the Jauntal Bridge from a height of almost 100 metres. With all kinds of variations that add even more action to a jump. Dive in, tandem jumps, aerobatic jumps, night jumps and much more!
