Easy introductory tour a 30' bike ride from Scharnitz and with less compromise. The bigger abseils (max. 25m.) have double, recent anchors (2022-2024). The smaller, often downclimbable passages have either 1 bolt or 1 abalakov as aid. Not aquatic, nore technical and mostly very sunny, could be done in 1/2 wetsuit or in summer without. Phone reception at exit and on the approach.

30' bikeride (access allowed 1/4-31/10) + 30' approach on the orographic right bank.

Park the bike by the bridge and hike up orographic right. The trail takes a wide turn to the left and away from the canyon (do not mistake it for smaller animal trails) and comes back to the canyon gradually through small bushes and pine trees. The trail is not marked but is rather obvious in its upper part.
