home/flood 2002

Flood which literally ran over White Water Center in summer 2002

Hello,

Our boathouse was inoperative because of the flood. When the flood was at its highest level, it reached to the middle of the windows on the first floor. The result of this apocalyptic event were destroyed or damaged all the facilities. The boathouse was uninhabitable.
The boathouse is already repaired at the present. It had been newly furnished. During the repairs many new innovative features were added, which improve the services of the boathouse. Look and judge for yourself.see gallery

The slalom course ended up much better than the boathouse. The river caused minimal damages. All seat for viewers were destroyed and all poles for hanging the gates as well. But the banks remained. We could not use the course. The floods destroyed the control of the weir, lowering the level drastically. That brought along that no water flowed into the slalom course.
The slalom course is ready for usual training as before the flood in accordance with the rules.see Slalom course

Have a good time
