Canyoning Adventure with Da Schluchtler at Achensee | Guided Tour | Water Activities

At the heart of Bavaria’s Alpine foothills near Gmund am Tegernsee lies a terrain carved by time and water — the Achensee gorges offer a compelling playground for canyoning enthusiasts ready to push their limits. Da Schluchtler’s Canyoning Tour Achensee für Fortgeschrittene delivers four hours of adrenaline-fueled descent through rugged limestone walls, where alpine waters cascade down thrilling drops and carve natural slides. This isn’t your average walk in the woods; it’s a technical challenge designed for those with solid canyoning experience who seek 30-meter abseils, precision jumps, and swift water slides. The alpine landscape here is shaped by steep cliffs and crystalline streams that feed into the larger Achensee Lake basin, Germany’s largest alpine lake.
