15.05.2025 Gaisbach Andreas Gobber ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Low Completed ✔
First of all, there is currently no specific information on how to walk the canyon, the "Tiroler Schluchtenführer" is largely incorrect! It is essential to have a belay device and do not rely on the sling from a guide, as the rapid link used is NOT tested and is only 4mm and the sling would have slipped through without checking. Be sure to take 2x30m or 1x60m of rope with you, as an anchor is missing when rappelling in front of the former boulder barrier and is therefore rappelled from the rappel point above. (The rappel is recognizable by its noise level, very loud, and you can see it in the attached picture). We got through without drilling, but we used a 60m rope, body belays, natural belays, wood from jams and were always alert to see if we could actually pull the rope off. The canyon is really very long, 12-13km, so expect a pure walking time of about 7-8h. We used public transport to get from the parking lot at Egerbach Appartements to the Kaiserlift and took it up. Departure bus stop "Schwoich Egerbach" 0827h and arrived at the car at 2000h. There is no cell phone reception in most of the canyon and you really are on your own! You'll come across jams everywhere and places where you can look for suitable "anchors". The anchor of the bed load barrier, including the last two beams, is located at a height of about 5-6m. This is also where badge 1 is attached, as the guides counted upwards rather than downwards. We found plaques 1,3,6,7,11,14 and 15, which gives you a rough idea. All in all, it is a beautiful and very picturesque canyon. In this condition, it is almost reminiscent of an "expedition canyon" and should not be entered unprepared and ill-equipped. As usual, you can find a video of the tour on Instagram at
04.05.2025 Kronburger Tobel Andreas Gobber ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Low Completed ✔
We were in there today when the water level was low and the "automatic rake" wasn't working today. We got in at the 35m rappel (classic "Area47" entry) and did the Kronburg to the exit. All the stands are usable here (but not all are good!) and you can get through without any problems.
27.04.2025 Rehmer Bach Andreas Gobber ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
A beautiful "beginner" canyon with great rock formations. The protection is good and it can also be climbed excellently on ragen. The double step is overhanging and the "long rappel" can be slipped on the rope. After the last rappel (boulder barrier), you can exit orographic left at a bench and follow the path downhill. We followed the course of the stream and found one or two great places to squeeze through. We would rate the difficulty as II / A-B / 2
21.04.2025 Kobelache Andreas Gobber ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Low Completed ✔
The pools are nice and empty, so all the jumps are doable. The stands are top-notch and the first commercial ascent this year was also made. Only the water was quite fresh at 6°C and the deep pools were therefore very "waking". As usual, you can find a video of the tour on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIt3RbEAJCH/?igsh=MXRrcXVzOWZhazFrbw==
13.04.2025 Rosengarten (Oberer) Andreas Gobber ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Low Completed ✔
Superiore to climb and a great tour in between. On the last big rappel (20m + 20m), the "Sauschwanz"/diverter is broken on the lower one and the orographic left stand (dry chain anchor) must always be checked for real usability, but there is a glued anchor on the right.
06.04.2025 Hachleschlucht Andreas Gobber ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
A great canyon which is commercially accessible. The protection is very good and it can be climbed superiore even at high water levels. There is another worthwhile rappel after the exit behind the rake, but it is not recommended as there is no real exit afterwards! We would rate the difficulty as in the book "Tiroler Canyoningführer von Alexander Riml und Gunnar Amor/Activsport Alpin" at II - III / B / 3
