Last week we spent in Wildalpen, Austria. Many kayakers know this place for it's great river Salza. But not many know that it has one of the best hole for freestyle kayaking. Of course the river has to have right level as for everything but when it does than it is just perfect!
Every year Helli-Welli host austrian's freestyle kayaking event. This year it was an open Austrian Championships as well. We really like this place so we came a bit in advance so we could enjoy this area. We stayed in camsite right next to the hole so we didnt have to travel anywhere. Little Peter enjoyed kid's playground there and we trained for upcoming event. We did some short river runs as well. On Saturday was the Championships with all prelims, semifinals and finalls. Peter paddled just perfect and scored more than 1300 points in final. I did some nice runs and at the evening we could celebrate two gold medals. I really enjoy times when we both win. It's like double win for us and it feels awesome. This was really nice event. After hard trainings and stresfull European Championships this was pretty relaxed competition with good friends, grilling, music, perfect weather, kayaking, two gold medals and some prize money. What else you could wish for. Just prefect trip! We are looking forward for next adventure.
