Summary: machine translated ➜

Almost pure rappel canyon. Very vertical and often a lot of wood in it.

Access: machine translated ➜

You can enter "Vorderkaserklamm" in the navigation system. Park at the bottom, check with the ticket office, they are very friendly, and if you ask for a final beer/snack, everyone will be happy.

Approach (30 min): machine translated ➜

Follow the normal hiking trail in the gorge to the exit of the dark gorge. Where the canyon opens up, you can rappel from the orographic left using a single rappel, or otherwise climb over the iron and down the rock.

Tour (2 h): machine translated ➜

After the entry, there are several abseils between 10 m and 40 m. There are generally very good belays and a few small jumps. However, a little caution is required due to gravel (or chain position) and wood piles.

Return (5 min): machine translated ➜

At the exit of the gorge you come to an open stream. There you can see the restaurant and the parking lot again.

We had to negotiate a bit at the ticket office, as they only want to allow ACA training events into the canyon. Could be difficult in the future. Access after the gorge opens up, on a 180° hairpin bend of the footbridge, continue left up to the water.

The entrance at the cash desk opens at 9:30 a.m. Stands all OK.

Cool canyon, narrow in places. Tour made with top water level. Very well set up. Partly blocked but easy to get through. Access via hiking trail, best to ask nicely at the ticket office then it's no problem.

Every abseil point well aligned. Relatively much wood at some rappels, but no siphons or the like
