A magic world of rock and raging water opens up in the \u201c<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lofer.com\/en\/salzburger-saalachtal\/sights-and-excursions\/seisenbergklamm\" type=\"page\" id=\"7878\">Seisenbergklamm<\/a><\/strong>\u201c says this man, who animatedly narrates, \u201cWe tiny humans look down into the foaming water between 30 metre towering rockfaces. The sun forces its way through, what an amazing feeling!\u201c The dutchman finds the constrasting landscapes in the region most alluring \u2013 wild and peaceful so close to each other. He grew up in Nordbrabant province, around 1000 kilometres away, in Goirle, which has 23000 inhabitants. He often used to hike through the expansive heathlands with his parents, a teacher and a civil servant, and brother.&nbsp; \u201cI still miss my family and the sea\u201c, says the qualified sports&#8217; scientist, who actually wanted to teach&nbsp; at grammar school. He came to the Salzburger Saalachtal for the first time as a 17 year old ski instructor \u2013 and after that came back again and again. Nowadays he leads the ski school project \u201cBergzeit\u201c with Georg Herbst in winter. In the summer he runs his business \u201cBase Camp\u201c in Hallenstein near Lofer. Palms decorate the terrace there; rustic shingles adorn the bar. A 300 year old spice and herb trunk, which came from Dutch sailors, stands at the entrance to the camp. After the tours the guests sit in it with Dion Adams and his five employees and recall their impressions of the day with the qualified guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\"
