From the Inntal freeway take the Mötz exit onto the main road in the direction of Innsbruck, at Stams turn left after the last house and drive in the direction of "Wasserfall". At the end of the road, park your car in the parking lot in front of the highway underpass.

Go through the underpass and over the suspension bridge to the northern bank of the Inn River and climb up on the hiking trail in the direction of Untermieming. After passing a chapel, immediately turn right at the edge of the meadow on a small path and continue along the edge of the forest down to the stream. (A little above on the left bank is the ruin of a mill).

Tour (1 h 30): machine translated ➜

A total of 15 rappelling points, some very far outside the actual streambed, with chain anchors and some wire ropes to get to the belaystation. However, it is possible to also follow the course of the stream in the lower part. The final waterfall is rappelled in two stages (otherwise longer ropes are needed).Above water diversion to a power station.

Return (5 min): machine translated ➜

Pass the power station on the right and take the footpath back to the suspension bridge and the car.

Finally water again after last year! Partly only single hoes. The garbage was limited. Easy to walk on.

Today there was less garbage in the canyon than 2 years ago. Abseil point 10 was no longer really sensible to reach as it was 2m into the canyon, so too deep from above and too high from the canyon, someone had put 2 fairly thin trees across the canyon as a bridge, but it was too dangerous for me. You can go around to the right and rappel from a tree. Very nice today with the sun.
