Salzachöfen, Natural monument and canyon in Golling an der Salzach, Austria.
The Salzach River flows through a 60-meter deep canyon between the Hagen Mountains and Tennen Mountains in the Northern Limestone Alps.
Adolf Anderle completed the first recorded descent of the canyon in 1931, marking the beginning of whitewater kayaking as a recognized sport.
The formation includes a rock cathedral shaped by water erosion, which stands as a testament to the power of natural geological processes.
Visitors can choose between an 800-meter zip line experience or follow a secure footpath along the gorge for different viewing perspectives.
The canyon features an S-bend where the Salzach River changes direction three times, creating an exceptional geological formation in the Austrian Alps.
