Canyoning Cuc in Savinja and Šalek Valley

Adventure Valley -  outdoor agency from alpine village Luče in the northern part of Slovenia made my perfect adrenaline trip.

10 min long drive from Luče to Kamnik led us to the starting point of our Canyoning Adventure. Where we changed into swimsuits and put on neoprene suits, protective pants, helmet and harness and left our personal things safe and dry. Licensed guide gave us basic instructions on the start and explained us the rules of this sport at several points on the way, so we could really enjoy the ride.

We hiked uphill in the embrace of forest, at the lush greenery and enjoyed beautiful views of the Dleskovška plateau and Mt. Raduha. After about 45 minutes walk the mountain trail ended at the entrance of  canyon Cuc.  

Adrenaline drop down steel wires about 25 m  zip-line dropped me directly into the canyon, where the water thrill began. Our guide safely fastened me on the pulley using harness and I flew  as a bird on the other side. That was fantastic!

I was descending through the canyon, sliding on natural chutes and conquering more powerful waterfalls with a rope. It all began with 12 m waterfall rope descent, followed by 35 m waterfall-rope descend and number of smaller descents. At the end I experienced longer sliding on natural chutes.

Refreshing in crystal clean water in Cuc is definitely worth exploring! I am coming back next year and will try other adventurous activities as well.
