Summary:
The Maurerbach is a stream that can only be walked on from the exit of October to the beginning of November. It is fed by a glacier and carries too much water in summer to be passable. Only in October/November, when the temperature is below 0° at night at 2000m, the Maurerbach becomes passable. During our walk the water was ok, but you should know about water hazards (syphon, baffles). For estimation you can find the photo attached, which was taken directly at the parking lot, at the prominent stone in the stream. A good neoprene equipment is necessary for the Maurerbach, because it is very aquatic and one comes very often in contact with the water. A beautiful, aquatic glacier canyon for late autumn, which can be well combined with the Dorferbach one valley further on a weekend. Compared to the Dorferbach, the Maurerbach is a gorge throughout. The Maurerbach impresses with its dark rock with crystal clear, deep blue pools and due to its southern orientation you have wonderful light shows in the gorge. A must-have for winter-proof canyon routes that are familiar with water hazards.
