Very short aquatic rappel canyon in a heavily obstructed scenic area. Short access, very elaborately set up and accordingly heavily used by guide parties.

Access: machine translated ➜

From Klagenfurt take the B91 towards Loiblpass and park at the junction to Windisch Bleiberg on the Kleiner Loiblpass.

Approach (10 min): machine translated ➜

Follow the main road to the Teufelsbrücke bridge, from where you have a view of the entire tour. If the iron gate is open, go through here and to the stream, if it is closed, after a few meters you will find a trail on the other side of the road that leads steeply down to the exit. Cross the aluminum spiral staircase (donated by the Villach carnival guild) and the suspension bridge until you reach the stream. Entry under a 3m waterfall below the actual Tschaukofall.

Tour (30 min): machine translated ➜

On the left side of the first waterfall, which is about 17m high, there are 2 rappel points, depending on whether you want to rappel in or out of the water. The next 5m high waterfall can be bypassed using a wire rope and gorge or rappelled from one of the belays. There are 2 more waterfalls, 3m and 9m high, separated by a small, current-rich trough. The 3m drop can be jumped or slid, but should be secured as there is a risk of being pulled into the next waterfall. At the 9m drop you rappel again. That's it :) The deep and narrow Tscheppaschlucht gorge below is also drilled. You could also take the Tschaukofall - 30m, rope sling around tree orographic right.
