Summary:
A nice stream that should be walked especially in spring (snowmelt) or after a wet period in summer. The stream is very open and has an extremely alpine character, but is geologically highly interesting. The Lunglgrabenbach can be easily seen from a distance from the Ennstal valley, because it passes through a large quarry and the entire streambed has turned reddish-ochre. Apparently, the water in the source area is extremely strongly mineralized and so a thick sinter layer has formed over the entire streambed, which looks very slippery, but has held bombproof during our walk. As already described, the rock becomes more and more porous from top to bottom and you really have to watch out for falling rocks.
