It can of course happen if using a small kayak, but not with a larger and heavier canoe. In contrast to kayak experts, who use a splash guard and therefore have to master the so-called eskimo roll, beginners and hobby paddlers do not use it. Therefore, you can simply slide upside down out of the kayak and into the water. There are also many different models of kayaks, ranging from very narrow and streamlined to wide and heavy that can hardly tip over. Basically, beginners should always sit in a canoe first before venturing out on the kayak. Ötztal offers myriad challenges in the wet element for experienced whitewater kayakers. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can rent a rowing boat at lake Piburger See and enjoy a lovely tour.
