- Description
-
The key passage is the "corkscrew" shortly after the power station house, which reaches the fourth degree depending on the water level. Caution: because of the weir at the gravel works, the water level is usually very low. It is then advisable to embark directly above the corkscrew. After the short gorge, there is a weir with a boat slide. VISIT IT BEFOREHAND. There is a transfer possibility on the left bank.
