The river section of the Stranda is about 8 km long and offers 9 spectacular rapids and several beautiful sections. Since the river has a so-called pool-drop character, the difficulty rating is relatively low compared to the size of the rapids we are navigating, so you get a great experience for your money.
The Raundal River is a world-class white-water river about 7 km long, flowing through a picturesque canyon away from the road. We usually go down the Raundal when the water level of the Stranda is too low, mostly from August to September.
Depending on the water level, we either take the Stranda or the Raundal, both of which offer a first-class white-water experience.
