Access: machine translated ➜

Coming from Innsbruck, take the highway exit "Landeck-Zams Ost" and continue on the B171/Hauptstraße in the direction of Zams. Shortly before the Inn bridge, turn right onto Lötz, about 100m further on turn right again onto Burschlweg. Follow this for approx. 250m until you reach a small chapel (Bäurinnenkapelle). The parking lot is located there.

Approach (3 h): machine translated ➜

Follow the E5 in the direction of Memminger Hütte to the "Schmidlerskreuz" at approx. 1520m. From there descend pathless to Lochbach.

Tour (5 h): machine translated ➜

The first approx. 2km/300m are pure block climbing (river walk), only then does the actual canyon with its 10 abseiling points begin.

Return (10 min): machine translated ➜

After the fountain, turn left up to the powerhouse, past it along the asphalt road to the highway gallery. Immediately after this, turn left at the fence onto the path along the meadow, at the exit of the meadow at the signpost in the direction of Zams on the asphalt road back to the parking lot.

But still gone after 3 weeks without rain. Water level was "normal" for the tour. See photo for assessment. Described access is too far, better to rappel in one of the ravines you cross (anchors seen but not used). Adventure canyon, not for the faint-hearted.

Won't happen this season. Exit from 30.9.23 verified - doable without major problems. Just follow the steel cable (old, rusty). See photo of water level at the mouth of the Inn. Too much!

Had to take the (probably only) emergency exit before the first rappel point due to too high water level (3er/4er climbing, about 200hm up the steep wall back to the E5). An alternative entry would be possible at about this point (saving 1h of ascent and about 2h of stream hike) - it would still need to drill the channel from E5 down to Lochbach (coordinates: 47.170337, 10.569838).
