You step out of the MONTEVIA base in Lenggries and the river is already talking — a low, speeding voice you can hear through the trees. The Isar, born high in the Alps, runs clear and cold, pushing along a corridor of cobbles and spruce. After a quick suit-up and a concise safety briefing, your raft answers that voice. Paddles dip; the boat slides into calm water that quickly opens into playful riffles and the occasional wallop of foam.
