Enjoy the "DWS: Gail River Valley of Austria (Europe Austria Tyrol Lienz Obertilliach Gail River Valley)images by Bob Obst and THANKS for your interest ! -Bob Obst RIVER VALLEY DESCRIPTION: The beautiful Gail River, a tributary of the Drau River, rises within the Karnischen Alpen or Carnic Alps of the Osttirol. The Gail River flows at a generally class 3 pace and sometimes more difficult (4) through Untertilliach, St. Lorsezen, Birnbaum, and Kotschach Mauthen, before it eases to class 2 downriver of Kotschach Mauthen. On the 27 August 1987, Bob Obst kayaked this at first clear blue green and later milky green river between Obertilliach (bridge over Gail River 3.9 KM or 2.42 MI downriver of Obertilliach) and Birnbaum (bridge 1.2 KM or 0.75 mi downriver of Birnbaum); Bob Obst kayaked this 25.4 KM or 15.78 MI stretch of almost conttinuous whitewater in approximately 2 hours 37 minutes after bicycling my river shuttle. Cliffs, rocky gorges and thickly forested ravines frequently constrict the river within this section - which provided me a wonderful sense of isolation.; ADDITIONAL REFERENCES: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_%28river%29, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrol_%28state%29, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Tyrol, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obertilliach, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnic_Alps, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Limestone_Alps; LOCATION of Obertilliach Austria within the headwaters of the Gail ]River = 46.709147, 12.614511 RAO
