Summary:
Beautifully washed out, very cold marble gorge (Hochstegen limestone marble) below the Hintertux Glacier. A diversion tunnel - Tuxbachbeileitung - diverts most of the water from the large Kunerbach stream into the Schlegeis reservoir located in the next valley incision. This diversion can be switched by means of a so-called desander system in the event of debris inflow - even a small amount may suffice - in which case the entire Kunerbach would flow at least temporarily through the Hintertuxbach. I quote from www.alpinesicherheit.com/canyoning from 26.09.2013: "A deadly flood must be expected at any time, as the automatic flushing systems of the canyons are located above the canyon!"
