Charakteristik:
Forest gorge with optional caves. Interesting to do with a higher flow. Key passages are well bolted, but also some (single) 8mm on partially bad rock with a mix of metal remain. More caves in the area (also next to the exit).

Anfahrt:
Parking space at exit is limited when the fields are too wet for a car.
Zustieg (10 min):
Recommended on foot, right bank, trail starts at the houses, zigzags steeply at first, but soon mellows down, until we can change gear in an open field before tackling a few (obvious) meters of plants to enter the river bed.
Tour (2 h 30):
First abseil is the biggest one, takes you straight in the flow as well. It has intermediate anchor (exp.) after a few meters on a slippery wall. A footloop will be helpful. The next part is pretty deep & narrow, unfortunately with trees. The caves (yes, multiple) are hither & there, quite narrow or you need to climb up a rope to enter.
Rückweg (10 min):
By the little forest cabin, exit is immediately on the left bank.

Done after intense period of rain, almost regretted when i saw the amount of trees in the flow, but all went smoothly. First anchors are quality 10mm, chain... However soon follow a couple 8mm on cracked or loose rock. Had to look hard to find them (removed plants, moss...) also one place is without possibility for a decent anchor, a tree is used. Removed some fixed ropes. Checked out 4 caves in total. Rockfall.
Geschehen nach intensiven Zeitraum von regen, fast bedauerte, als ich die Menge der Bäume in der Strömung sah, aber alles ging reibungslos. Erste Anker sind Qualität 10mm, Kette... Allerdings folgen bald ein paar 8mm auf rissigen oder losen Felsen. Musste hart suchen, um sie zu finden (entfernt Pflanzen, Moos...) auch eine Stelle ist ohne Möglichkeit für einen anständigen Anker, ein Baum verwendet wird. Einige Fixseile wurden entfernt. Insgesamt 4 Höhlen besichtigt. Felssturz.
