Summary:
Beautiful aquatic lime canyon with very cold water from the impressive Engklamm and beautiful geological strata formations. Partly discontinuous with average protection. Longer swimming passages in cold water; warm neoprene is mandatory and gloves are an advantage. Ideal time to go in midsummer after long dry periods; During the walk, the level of the Tagliamento River was 0.49 m at this reference level: https://monitor.protezionecivile.fvg.it/#/stazione/20 (Station: Caprizzi). Here the amount of water was not a problem. According to Canyoning Wiki, the Rio Negro has also been accessed at a level of 1.06m, although here really only experienced aquatic fans should enter.
