Easy introductory tour that is a shorter (30') bike ride from Scharnitz and with less compromise. The bigger abseils (max. 25m.) have double, recent anchors (2022-2024). The smaller, often downclimbable passages have either 1 bolt or 1 abalakov as aid.

30' bike + 30' approach on the orographic right bank

Park the bike by the bridge and hike up orographic right. The trail takes a wide turn to the left and away from the canyon (do not mistake it for smaller animal trails) and comes back to the canyon gradually through small bushes and pine trees. The trail is not marked but is rather obvious in its upper part.

The tour starts well protected with a higher abseil and intermediate belay. 2 bolts L 12m to intermediate anchor 2 bolts L 14m to foot of the waterfall 1 bolt L 'Gemserast' 5m 1 abalakov R optional 6m 1 abalakov L optional 6m 1 bolt R optional 5m (active) 1 bolt + 1 abalakov R S-turn 12m Stuck boulder downclimb R 3m 1 bolt L double drop 10m 1 abalakov L 5m 1 abalakov R 8m 1 bolt + 1 abalakov R double drop 10m 1 abalakov R optional 4m downclimb + walk 5' 2 bolts R 26m

Exit L after the sources to find a trail back to the road and bridge.

Snowmelt, rainfall and karstic sources at the start and end of the canyon.
