Divoká voda Čunovo is one of the most advanced artificial white water courses in Europe. Slovakia has a strong rafting tradition and is considered one of the world’s leading nations in white water sports. Since 1993, Slovak athletes have won numerous Olympic medals in canoe slalom and related disciplines, underlining the country’s reputation as a rafting powerhouse.
Rafting on wild water is a moderately adrenaline-filled activity designed for crews of four to six participants. It is an ideal team-building experience, encouraging communication, coordination, and mutual trust. Under the guidance of a professional instructor, participants navigate the channel while learning essential paddling and maneuvering techniques.
The venue features two main channels interconnected at several points, allowing for multiple track combinations. The water difficulty ranges from WW II to WW IV, and the intensity can be adjusted using water-control gates that regulate the flow. The Čunovo course offers five different track types, each approximately 460 meters long. The combination of the first and second track with WW II difficulty is the most commonly used for corporate groups.
The channels conclude in two outlets flowing directly into the Danube. A separate 255-meter-long feed channel (14 meters wide and 1.2 meters deep) provides calm water conditions for crew preparation and training before entering the main white water section.
