Canyoning in the Lapos Strait

About

Meeting with the guide on site (by prior arrangement).
 
Program description:
Canyoning basically means walking through rock gorges, with proper protective clothing: neoprene clothing and socks (this keeps the body warm), any shoe can be used which is so good quality that after soaking it does not fall apart, and a helmet.
Anyone can take part in these tours (it doesn’t matter if you can't swim).
We provide the tour guide (who is a canyoning tour guide and cave rescuer), individual equipment (neoprene clothing, socks, helmet), team equipment (dry backpack to keep clothes and small things e.g. cameras, phones, car keys dry, ropes and carabiners).
Footwear is not provided, everyone should bring it.

The Lapos (flat) Strait is the valley of the Lapos Stream, which separates the Kupás and Bardócz Mountains, in the area of ​​the Bicaz Gorge-Hășmaș/Nagyhagymás National Park. The road takes approx. 45-60 minutes but also accessible by car (in this case someone has to bring the car back). Walk through the strait takes 2-3 hours.
It is not very popular because in summer it often dries out completely depending on the weather.
 
Useful information:
You can only apply for our canyon tours from spring to late autumn, the warmest summer days are most ideal as the mountain streams in our area are all very cold without exception.
We provide a one-time hearty, varied snack.
Before each tour, the guest fills out a declaration of their own responsibility and we also recommend accident insurance, even though we have never had an accident before (and we want to preserve this tradition).
