Based on the season, the routes and the equipment type, the Carpathian rivers will be considered as being category III in most situations with some elements being of V category. Off-season training can be considered in various parts of the rivers, including those of the highest difficulty levels. Make sure that you ask about the levels so that you know exactly what to expect. Do not go rafting on parts that have a category that is much higher than what you are ready for.
