Tour on the Rába

The number of hikers and adventurers specifically looking for waters increased sharply in the past few years in Europe. Members of this “club” visit nearly every water body: the rushing mountain waters, the large rivers as well as the lakes and lake systems.
Thanks to its rich natural resources, Vas county offers water-loving hikers ideal solutions. The Rába reaching the Danube in Győr is among the very few whitewater rivers in Hungary, and most of it meanders in Vas. It is an endlessly exciting river offering challenges and adventures for beginners and professionals alike.
The perfect choice for canoeing is the section of the Rába between Szentgotthárd and Sárvár, where there is no boat traffic, thus it offers undisturbed excitements. But always stay cautious!
