07.07.2025 Rio Brezzi Erik Weisz ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 High Completed ✔

Long day at Brezzi for us (2 beginners, 1 pro). Chose this canyon as Rio Simon had way too much water after rain. A bit too long approach for the amount of fun, but otherwise a nice canyon. At a small twisting downclimb/rappel, we couldn't find an anchor that was supposedly there, so we just used a tree. We also did the lower part afer path 424, this still has ~5 rappels and some downclimbing at the end (also slightly worse protection, but still fine).

06.07.2025 Rio Macile (Rio Brussine) Erik Weisz ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Low Completed ✔

Great day at Brussine. The first jump we rappeled, but the slide after it was fine. The rappel before the 60m could use a traverse anchor or a sling around a tree on the right, you could only reach the current anchor by jumping/sliding into a small pool, or doing a dangerous, slippery traverse (maybe after heavy rains it's fine). Other than that great protection.

We were surprised by how nice this canyon was. Except for the first 2 dry rappels, everything was jumpable/slidable. At the end, just before the exit, there's a small 3m slide, which could use a bolt so you can check the bottom.

Beautiful canyon, somewhat slippery. Everything top, very well insured.

Six of us did the Fischbach as an alternative to the Altersbach, no special features.

In the afternoon we quickly "whizzed through" to the middle exit.

Canyon has had a serious flood. Unsure of conditions of anchors. Recommend to take equipment for re-equipping, or wait until the canyon is checked.

Canyon has changed somewhat, Nasensprung is closed with tree trunks and shallow, individual excavator plates have been washed away and can now be found further down.

Hiked in the morning together with Gitti and Arthur. A nice little tour without any special features. The ropes could not be pulled off from below twice when the button was threaded the wrong way up against the chain link.

06.06.2025 Tatzlwurm Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

Climbed in the afternoon together with Gitti and Arthur. At the first rappel on the right, two bolts are sticking out of the unfinished rope protector, slightly damaging the rope. Water level for ascent basically OK. At the last pool we circled.

23.05.2025 Wappbach Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

Nice little tour with rather little water. An anchor for higher water pressure is missing in one or two places.

08.11.2024 Aquetzalli Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

Walked in a group of 5 people. Unfortunately, we didn't park the second car down by the river (road/field path would have been OK) but up in the village. So we had to walk a good half hour back to the car. The stream itself was "super", i.e. many very beautiful spots in the jungle, we saw a black snake and lots of butterflies. There were anchors in the most important places. Many jumps and slides can be repeated without any problems.

There were several "rustling" noises on the access, which could have been, among other things, slapping, so go slowly. We had chosen the "old" access based on the Ropewiki GPS data and walked around quite wildly in the cornfield or grass, almost like in a labyrinth. In the stream, we placed a bolt on the right at rappel 2 and marked the exit with cairns. Hotsprings afterwards are highly recommended. A car with a higher edge or similar is recommended for the approach.

We were lucky enough to visit the canyon "later" (around 13:30 at the entry) as there were already a lot of people in the creek before us. This turned out to be a good thing as we had plenty of shade on the way back. During access, we had to search for the path several times even though there were many people in the stream before us that day. We also found a wasps' nest :-|. The first part of the tour is pretty good, it's all up to the high rappel, then a bit more walking until you come out at the last rappel.

Ascent with 6 people as part of the RIC 2024. Unfortunately we started from the top as we had no precise information on the best way to traverse down into the stream. We chose the exit too early and missed the last two rappels. If you find a good middle entry point, it's certainly a relatively nice half-day tour. The stream was quite dirty (lots of garbage) and the water was not clear and not completely clean.

02.11.2024 El Violin Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

Ascent as part of the RIC 2024, got "lost" several times during access as we had no exact information but then found the canyon with the help of the locals. Second belaystation was difficult to reach (swinging) or staying on the right side from the top. Third stand had permanent "water", was a bit uncomfortable. On the way back, avoid contact with locals in the houses below or be friendly.

22.10.2024 Rio Pricot Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 High Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

The water level from the road below to the stream above was somewhat "distorted", i.e. we had a little more water in the stream than expected. The stream was slippery in places, but also tolerates water well. Some of the stands were used or set up outside the water flow on the tree and ropeway systems were used in some places. Tour aborted at bridge due to water level.

21.10.2024 Rio Malimberg (Inferiore) Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

Again used as an alternative stream as Favarinis and Pissanda still had a little too much water.

20.10.2024 Rio Brezzi Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

Because it was so beautiful (and many other streams had too much water) we walked it again.

19.10.2024 Rio Rivis Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 High Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

Only walked the lower part. Very nice tour when there was a bit more water. Siphon at the second rappel was still negligible. The amount of water on the rappel was manageable. Key point with more water probably the first abseil channel under the rock.

Inserted as an afternoon tour in the rain. Quite a lot of wumps if you catch the stream but you can usually go right/left/under it. Still possible with more water than we had.

18.10.2024 Rio Brezzi Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 High Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

Stream due to heavy rainfall (80L/day). There is a white sling hanging from a tree where the access branches off into the creek. I didn't remember the creek being so nice, but with a lot of water it is pretty good. No water problems during rappel. Most of the anchors are OK, some of the slings were not ideal and have been replaced. The lower part is also nice, if you disregard the 5min block hopping after the hiking trail. Directly before the bridge turn right up to avoid the blackberries. Pictures once 40er directly after the entry from below and once last waterfall before the trail crossing (possible water level check).

17.10.2024 Val Maggiore (intermedio) Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

Stream due to weather forecast rain. It is possible to leave the canyon in many places. It tolerates water well and would certainly be "interesting" if the water level was three or four times higher than we had. We parked one car at the bottom and the second car at the marked parking lot at the top and then walked along the stream for about 15 minutes up to the 5m jump. Anchors almost everywhere ProCanyon style.

16.10.2024 Torrente Ciolesan Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

We started in the middle of the day. It was a nice tour with many shorter rappels. Water level according to the reference photo did not cause any problems in the narrow sections, should still be possible with a slightly higher water level. Be careful at the beginning at the first house to the left up into the forest (GPS was helpful).

15.10.2024 Frauenbach Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 High Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

Ascended from the middle to the exit with a slightly higher water level (see before/after pictures) as a warm-up tour. No water problems during the rappel. On the last rappel, 53m was enough to get from the end of the chain to the bottom. At one point in the tour we had to extend the rope due to a lack of anchors. Stands were intact at all important points, but could be improved in places.

06.10.2024 Fischbach (Bluntautal) Max H. ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 High Completed ✔ machine translated ➜

Fresh on access and fresh in the stream. Slides no. two and three possible. Communication problems when cutting the rope at the cannon tube. The traverese rope is missing in a narrow section. Final waterfalls with some wumps.
