Summary: machine translated ➜

Hiking canyon. Generally little or no water throughput The conversion is long and laborious. I therefore recommend walking down the canyon until it opens up into a wide gravel bed. Turn around here and return to the entry point. In any case, you should turn back after 3.5 hours at the latest. This way you can also do without a 2nd car for the transfer.

From P1 directly into the stream.

Tour (5 h): machine translated ➜

The canyon narrows continuously and becomes equally interesting. There are 2 easy climbing passages (the drop over the two large boulders is bypassed on the right and easily downclimbed) and 2 deeper pools to overcome.
