Review & FAQ:
Constructed for the Summer Olympics in 1972, the Augsburg Eiskanal is an artificial whitewater rafting course that was designed for the canoe slalom event. This was the first year that the canoe slalom was part of the Olympics, and the course in Augsburg was the first course of its kind in the world. The course is still regularly used for many competitions, including the World Cup, the World Championship, and the European Championship races. It's also an excellent place to swim in the summer, but children and weak swimmers are advised to use caution because of the strong current.
