Zu Beginn ca. 40min. Bachwanderung bis zum Highlight der Tour, ein attraktiver 30-m-Abseiler in einen Kessel, dann immer wieder kleinere Engpassagen. An 1-2 Stellen wurden vergeblich Anker gesucht, konnten jedoch aufgrund des niedrigen Wasserstandes abgeklettert werden. Notausstieg regelmässigr möglich.

The tour begins with an approximately 40-minute river walk to the highlight of the tour—a spectacular 30-meter rappel into a cirque—followed by a series of smaller narrow passages. In 1–2 spots, attempts to find anchor points were unsuccessful, but it was possible to downclimb due to the low water level. Emergency exits are available at regular intervals.
