01.08.2025 Häselgehrbach Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 🌊 Loco Completado ✕ traducción alternativa ➜

The water level has been monitored daily since 26.07. Sometimes massive changes within 12 hours. Approx. 3.90 km² catchment area, due to the constant rain we could not walk on the Häselgehr within a week. Yesterday the water level was high, probably (athletically) doable, today there is already far too much water flowing again and stones are constantly flying down the last waterfall. We were at the final waterfall yesterday and today and stayed there for a while. With a steel cable pulley you can have a lot of fun on the via ferrata and you don't have to do without a 20m rappel with water contact.

Tour aborted after the anchor of the 3rd rappel collapsed under load. Already on the 2nd rappel, one of the 2 anchor points was no longer stable. Obvious cause (see photo): Unsuitable anchors are installed in the canyon. Due to the high water level, we had not yet pulled off the ropes so that we could ascend on the rope.

30.07.2025 Zieggraben Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

You can walk a beautiful canyon several times.... It had rained a lot recently. Due to the small catchment area of approx. 0.71 km², the water drains off relatively quickly and the tour was easy to do, even if there was a relatively large amount of water (for this canyon). Unfortunately, someone had removed all the fixed ropes and screw chain links that we had replaced in May. The now miserable equipment was problematic, especially with the high volume of water. We have set additional anchors to get down some (downclimbs) safely, but the existing anchors all need to be replaced. There are (if at all) only single bolts, but mostly only trees. We only left a fixed rope with a screw chain link hanging on 2 trees. Cloudy, without sun the canyon is less worthwhile. I recommend using the official parking lot and the official railroad crossing west of the Zieggraben. Access and return are only slightly longer.

29.07.2025 Kühbach Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Alto Completado ? traducción alternativa ➜

... Tour continuation from the previous day: After we had to leave the rope behind due to the extreme amount of water in the canyon, we entered the canyon again today. At the C35 we couldn't find a way to prevent the ropes from getting stuck. We decided not to drill due to the amount of water and the persistent rain. We went back to the C5, climbed up there again and then got out. As the canyon opens up further down, we tried to get in further down. After not being able to find a safe intermediate exit the day before, we were unable to find a suitable entry point below the C35 today. In the end, we climbed up a little from the exit and still had a nice day at the bottom.

28.07.2025 Kühbach Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Alto Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

Wir waren dreimal im Folge am Einstieg des Canyons (2x am 28.07., 1x am 29.07.) Der Einstieg ist leicht zu finden. Der Wanderweg dorthin ist gut zu gehen. Direkt am Einstieg beginnt eine kurze Abkletterpassage. In dieser kommt man überall aus dem Canyon raus. Dann kommt eine ca. 5m hohe Abseilstelle (Einfachhaken) mit Überhang - wieder hoch ist bei Wasser schwierig aber machbar. Nach maginaler Laufstrecke mit einer kleinen Abkletterstelle (ohne Außstiegsmöglichkeit) erreicht man den C35. Der Seilverlauf am C35 ist extrems problematisch: Es besteht ein Extrem hohes Risiko das Seil zu beschädigen oder dass man es nicht mehr abgezogen bekommt. An dieser Stelle müsste zwingend ein neuer Stand mit einem besseren Seilverlauf, ein Umlenker, Seilschoner oder Zwischenstand eingerichtet werden. Aufgrund der für diesen Canyon gegenwärtig außergewöhnlich hohen Wassermenge war uns das nicht möglich. Bei unser 1. Tour hat sich das Seil verklemmt, wir konnten es nicht mehr abziehen. Der C35 ist für einen Wiederaufstieg extrems schwierig, wir entschieden uns daher zu versuchen über den nächsten Notausstieg auszusteigen. Laut Beschreibung sollte einer kommen - aber wo? Wir haben keine geeigneten Ausstiege gefunden. Es gibt sehr viele Möglichkeiten den Canyon zu Verlassen, aber wir konnten keine sicheren, geeigneten Wege entdecken um dann auch wieder zurück zum Einsteig / Ausstieg oder Wanderweg zu kommen. Wir entschieden uns die Tour weiter zu gehen. Dabei stellten wir fest, dass die beschriebene Topo so nicht passen kann. Fakt ist, im Verlaufe der Tour gibt es immer mehr Ankerpunkte. Irgendwann gefühlt alle 5 bis 10 Meter. Den Schlussabseiler (Ausstieg), der sich auch als Checkpoint eignet, haben wir nochmal richtig genoßen - einer der Höhepunkte des Canyons. Nach der Tour sind wir nochmal zurück zum Einstieg, um das Seil vom C35 zu hohlen. In dieser Zeit hat es geregnet. Am Einstieg angekommen hatte sich die Wassermenge vervielfacht und das Wasser war voller Sedimente.

We were at the entry of the canyon three times in a row (2x on 28.07., 1x on 29.07.) The entry is easy to find. The hiking trail there is easy to walk. A short downclimb begins directly at the entry. Here you can get out of the canyon anywhere. Then comes an approx. 5m high abseiling point (single piton) with an overhang - climbing back up is difficult but doable in water. After a maginal run with a small downclimb (without the possibility of an exit) you reach the C35. The course of the ropes on the C35 is extremely problematic: there is an extremely high risk of damaging the rope or not being able to get it off. At this point, a new belay with a better rope course, a diverter, rope protector or intermediate belay would have to be set up. Due to the unusually high amount of water in this canyon at the moment, this was not possible for us. On our first tour, the rope got stuck and we were unable to pull it off. The C35 is extremely difficult for a re-ascent, so we decided to try to get out via the next emergency exit. According to the description, there should be one - but where? We didn't find any suitable exits. There are many ways to leave the canyon, but we couldn't find any safe, suitable ways to get back to the entrance/exit or hiking trail. We decided to continue the tour. In doing so, we realized that the described topographic view could not fit. The fact is, as the tour progresses, there are more and more anchor points. At some point it felt like every 5 to 10 meters. We really enjoyed the final abseil (exit), which is also suitable as a checkpoint - one of the highlights of the canyon. After the tour, we went back to the entry to fetch the ropes from the C35. It was raining during this time. When we arrived at the entry point, the amount of water had multiplied and the water was full of sediment.

Thanks to regulation, even after a lot of rain in recent weeks with normal water level and feasible without problems. Very well equipped, anchors for special individual rope courses can no longer be used, but still top equipped due to the large number of anchors. 4.50 per person, we were also able to pay by SEPA transfer. Additional costs for the upper parking lot.

05.07.2025 Würmbach (oben) Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Bajo Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

We took the Almbahn I and Almbahn II from Lofer up to the Lofer Alm. The total journey time is approx. 22 minutes. From there, the well-signposted waterfall trail leads directly to the stream, the first anchor point is clearly visible from the hiking trail. A very average canyon, with occasionally very beautiful views of the mountain landscape. The anchors are rather moderate, but we always found something. The previous 2x50m rope indication is strange - at the longest point the center mark of our 50m ropes was about 10m from the next anchor, so a 70m rope would probably have been enough twice - I suspect that you could possibly get by with 35m ropes - but to be on the safe side, take a longer rope with you as long as no one else confirms this statement.

In fact, a much nicer canyon than you would expect. Many exit possibilities. Stands OK, but mixed quality. Metal part still in the last slide. I will adjust points in the description: Rappel recommendation: 1x10m & 1x30m - Reason: most rappels are <5m, at the highest the 30m double was enough. Duration: 2h total is extremely ambitious, 3h sporty. I recommend as a guideline (2-4 people, with a break, without rushing) to buy the parking ticket for 4 hours, then it is a leisurely tour that you can enjoy.

03.07.2025 Almbachklamm (BGL) Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

We were in Sulzer Waterfall and had parked a car at the ball mill. We originally wanted to take the hiking trail along the gorge, but very quickly realized that the canyon is very well set up and the canyon as a whole is worthwhile. Clear water, great pools with beautiful jumps - a superiore combination with the Sulzer waterfall.

03.07.2025 Sulzer Wasserfall Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

Streambed at parking lot was dry, but a good amount of water from entry. Anchor condition good, only minor potential for optimization. 2x40m ropes are perfect in this canyon, anyone who has to downclimb with them has overlooked the anchors We continued via the Almbachklamm, a worthwhile combination - nice rappel in the Sulzer waterfall, great slide & possible jumps and much more aquatic following the Almbach towards Kugelmühle.

Photo 1: Former jump site destroyed by the rockfall (Attention! Water is not deep!) Photo 2: Water volume reservoir Photo 3: High jump (approx. 8.5m) Photo 4: Waterfall / last inflow As always very beautiful and absolutely worthwhile, especially in the current heat a great way to cool off. Water is very refreshing, no running water at first, but after a short time everything is perfect. Very beautiful play of colors in the sunshine. The consequences of the rockslide are clearly visible, but don't make the canyon any less attractive - there are still plenty of possible jumps. One fixed rope is broken, so I recommend having at least a 10m rope with you, a >=19m rope is needed to control the pool at the 8.5m jump

Good parking lot (chargeable, 6€/day) We somehow didn't see the intermediate entrance and then walked the whole canyon. Very worthwhile at times, but also (as already mentioned several times) a lot of dead wood in the canyon. Anchoring points are sometimes unfavorable, but we always have a way to help ourselves.

A beautiful, but very short, rappel canyon. All anchors are in good condition, mostly 2 anchor points. Unfortunately mostly unfavorably placed - rope protectors are recommended.

16.05.2025 Teufelslochklamm Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Bajo Completado ✕ traducción alternativa ➜

After a tour in the Hinterer Kreidengraben, we walked from the bottom to the last waterfall in the Teufelslochklamm. The canyon makes a very promising impression. I can definitely say that the description of "forest gorge" is misleading.

15.05.2025 Schwarzbach (Garmisch-Partenkirchen) Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

In my opinion, this is an underrated canyon. It's not the pearl of the region, but it has beautiful rock formations and clear, green water to offer. Nature lovers will get their money's worth. Unfortunately, it is not well equipped and there are many anchor points that can be stolen. Nevertheless, we got through safely. Highly recommended as an alternative canyon. I rate it between 2.5 and 3 stars. There is definitely a lack of continuity. Relatively much walking through the streambed. The previous description is irritating to incorrect: - "Forest canyon for hiking and rappel" is so incorrect. In places it is certainly a forest canyon, but with the rock it is mostly a nice, full-fledged canyon. Anyone who finds themselves in the forest canyon has probably lost their way and taken a wrong turn. - "At a suitable point, we descend into the streambed." is not very helpful information. We find the next suitable spot, and then you have to go all the way back through the streambed. However, I recommend staying on the path until it is level with the streambed, otherwise you will miss out on a nice little slide and a mini jump.

A fantastically beautiful canyon. Mostly only one anchor, of which some anchor points are in questionable condition. Partial rappel from dead wood. I cannot recommend the access (so far) given in the description for the last few meters from the bridge - it would be life-threatening! Better to carefully abseil down from the trees in the 3rd leftward haipin bend after the bridge. Video link to the tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl_O25x08j8

We had sunshine in the canyon and a wonderful view of the Zugspitze. I like this canyon, even if it is very simple. The facilities are moderate. If available, there is only one anchor point. Mostly natural anchors. We renewed the ropes and chain links on several trees. Anyone going into this canyon should have some material to sacrifice. A few more anchor points would really enhance this canyon.

Der Weg von der Kapelle zum Einstieg ist sehr weit und führt über gut 100 unnütze Höhenmeter, die man wieder absteigt. Er ist allerdings, wie der Name schon sagt, sehr eindrucksvoll. Es gibt einen alternativen Zustieg von der anderen Seite des Panoramasteiges, der einen zusätzlichen, direkten Zugang zum Schlusswasserfall bietet. Die zwei Haken im oberen Teil sind top (12 mm, Edelstahl mit zwei Ringen, Einzelhaken), wenn auch ein paar spannende Abklettertstellen verbleiben. Wir haben folgende Haken neu gesetzt: Nach dem ersten bekannten V - Kettenstand (orografisch rechts) einen Kettenstand Edelstahl nach gut 18 m orografisch links hinter einer Kante (von oben nicht sichtbar). Der erste Abseiler teilt sich also auf in C 18 und C 28 (nach unserer Messung). Das Abziehen war problemlos möglich. Der zweite Stand besteht aus 2 Klebehaken einige Meter außerhalb des Wasserfalls, ebenfalls links. Die Haken stehen etwas zu weit aus dem Fels heraus. Der dritte Stand befindet sich ebenfalls einige Meter neben dem Wasserlauf, gut fünf Meter oberhalb einer prägnanten Felskante. Er besteht aus zwei verbogenen Edelstahlbohrhakenlaschen mit verzinktem Schraubkettenglied. Die Haken sind mit einer dünnen grünen Reepschnur verbunden. Zusätzlich gibt es einen flach gebogenen Klebehaken und einen Haken der zu 70 % aus dem Fels gezogen ist. Hier haben wir zwei neue Einzelhaken gesetzt (verzinkt, 10 mm, mit einem Ring). Der vierte Stand liegt in sportlichen 55 Metern Entfernung erneut deutlich entfernt vom Wasserlauf. Er besteht aus zwei Klebehaken, die ebenfalls zu weit aus dem Fels stehen und einer geschraubten Bohrhakenlasche mit zwei Kettengliedern, hier fehlt die Unterlegscheibe. Den nächsten, fünften und letzten Stand haben wir neu gebohrt, nach gut 45 Metern orografisch links nahe des linken Wasserlaufes in einer Nische. Er besteht aus zwei Einzelhaken (verzinkt, 10 mm, mit einem Ring). Es verbleiben noch 45 Meter bis zum Boden. Alle Angaben ohne Gewähr, Haken prüfen!

The path from the chapel to the entry point is very long and leads over a good 100 unnecessary meters in altitude, which you descend again. However, as the name suggests, it is very impressive. There is an alternative access from the other side of the Panorama Trail, which offers additional, direct access to the final waterfall. The two anchors in the upper part are top-notch (12 mm, stainless steel with two rings, single pitons), although a few exciting climbing sections remain. We have placed the following new anchors: After the first known V - chain anchor (orographic right) a chain anchor stainless steel after a good 18 m orographic left behind an edge (not visible from above). The first rappel is thus divided into C 18 and C 28 (according to our measurement). Pulling off was possible without any problems. The second belay consists of 2 glued anchors a few meters outside the waterfall, also on the left. The anchors stick out a little too far from the rock. The third belay is also located a few meters from the waterfall, a good five meters above a prominent rock edge. It consists of two bent stainless steel bolts with a galvanized screw chain link. The anchors are connected with a thin green cord. In addition, there is a flat bent glued anchor and an anchor that is 70% pulled out of the rock. Here we have placed two new single pitons (galvanized, 10 mm, with a ring). The fourth belay is a sporty 55 meters away, again well away from the watercourse. It consists of two glued anchors, which are also too far out of the rock, and a bolted bolt plate with two chain links; the washer is missing here. We redrilled the next, fifth and last belay, after a good 45 meters orographic left near the left watercourse in a niche. It consists of two single pegs (galvanized, 10 mm, with a ring). There are still 45 meters to the bottom. All information without guarantee, check anchors!

Water level increased after several days of (heavy) rain (snowfall from 1200 m). Full neoprene required! Anchor points are all okay, even if there is room for improvement in terms of rope friction. Unfortunately, the tour comes at the price of a much too long approach and an equally long return. You climb a good 300 vertical meters to the exit and logically also descend again afterwards. All the water actually seeps away in the wide gravel bed on the way back.

The first (single) anchors are already wobbly, the equipment is no longer up to date, a complete renovation would be appropriate. We entered after 5 days of moderate to heavy rain at a higher water level. Extremely short walking passages in the canyon and many small and three higher abseils. A little bit of wood but not disturbing. A worthwhile canyon at this water level.

Hiked in relatively poor weather. The canyon loses a significant part of its charm in poor visibility - we could only guess at the beautiful view instead of enjoying it. The condition of the anchoring is mixed. Partly very good, partly poor (e.g. loose chain links, rusty chain links) The ascent in just under an hour as described is ambitious. The ascent is steep.

We got on at anchor point 10 and got off after anchor point 6 (before the bridge). We had 3x20m ropes with us - that was perfect. We had quite a lot of water, slides / jumps were not possible (water too cloudy to check the depth of the pools). I will try to revise the description in the next few days.

23.07.2024 Subersach Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Alto Completado ? traducción alternativa ➜

Not a real canyoning tour. Aquatic hike - with more or fewer swimming spots depending on the amount of water. We went here because our accommodation was within walking distance. Highly recommended as a home canyon - there are better options for long journeys. The water was warm. Swimming was also no problem in a 2 to 3 mm wetsuit (in summer) and was even pleasant. You don't need a harness or ropes until you reach the suspension bridge. We got off at the suspension bridge because we couldn't find a safe way to downclimb shortly afterwards. Instead, we continued along the hiking trail in the Quelltuff area of Lingenau

22.07.2024 Mühltobel (unterer Abschnitt) Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

Anchoring in good condition. Thin 2 to 3 mm neo is fresh in summer but tends to be sufficient. The parts were mixed up in the description, I will correct that. In any case, 60m of rope is not necessary in the lower part, with 2x20m or 1x40m (+ emergency rope) you can get through this part safely. Reparking hardly saves any time here.

Quite scenic when the sun is shining. Reparking not necessary. Thin neoprene (2 to 3 mm) is more than sufficient in summer. Anchoring not always perfect, but more than sufficient for this canyon.

20.07.2024 Wirtatobel Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

Anchoring is very moderate, but we always found something. Partly sporty downclimbing. There are obligatory showers and bathing spots, so even in summer it's fresh with 2-3mm wetsuits, but doable. The way back tarnishes the memories of this canyon. It goes steeply up the slope through the forest. Footprints are only occasionally to be found.

15.06.2024 Kesselbach Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Bajo Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

Water quantity has decreased significantly. Still ok, but not worth it with even less water. Hooked a fixed rope with a screw chain link to the destroyed anchors. This makes the rappel fun, but I doubt it will stay there for long. I recommend having a short sacrificial rope (approx. 3m to 5m) with you

14.06.2024 Kargraben Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

Scenic, nice canyon but nothing special. We got out at the bridge, lots of walking overall. Anchors are ok. You only need 40-meter ropes if you want to descend everything on a double rope. Otherwise, 20 (or better 25 meter) ropes are enough.

Very beautiful canyon, spectacular waterfalls and then it continues via the beautiful Soffia. Great! The first 5 meters are often described as an obligatory jump. However, the pool was only a BONE DEEP during our ascent! You will look in vain for an anchor, there is only old rope laid around a small stone. Various other anchor points are also in poor condition.

We tried to find an alternative to the extremely dangerous access to the Ribeira da Igreja (inférieur) with lots of equipment and ropes. From the starting point of the Igreja inferiore it is clear to see that there is an upper part. This can also be seen on maps. However, we didn't get very far. It was all extremely overgrown. We made our way through the bushes for the first few meters. Another attempt must follow at some point ... ATTENTION: - CANYON IS NOT YET SET UP! - FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR IGREJA INFERIORE!

As in the other parts of the Cales, some walking passages, but less than in Cales 3. Good anchor points where available. In some places more anchors would not hurt if there is a lot of water. Verticality "easy" except for the last rappel - the C30 is superiore, but reaching the 2nd anchor is not trivial.

Condition of all anchor points is top. The access was destroyed by an earth rut, but has since been repaired. Local guides had also just built an alternative access on the day of our tour. We refrained from slides and jumps at the "playground" (final abseil) due to warnings from local guides. There have probably been several accidents recently, as the pool is no longer as deep and the water now runs down the slide differently. Earth slides have also changed the exit.

Nice little tour. Quite scenic. Unfortunately, the anchors have been stolen from various stands. Thanks to the trees you can usually still get down well or often there is still an anchor or you can jump. We got off at the 2nd bridge due to the missing anchors. We combined the tour with Porto Novo (same parking lot, neighboring gorge, similarly easy and short)

Beautiful canyon. Anchor points mostly in good condition, some high-quality titanium glued anchors. Access is extremely precarious. If you have a queasy feeling, you should turn back immediately - it gets worse and worse ..... Due to the waves, we decided to break off at the C90 and use the emergency exit at the rock window of the tunnel of the old shore road. The old shore road no longer exists in large parts. There can be no question of a safe way back here. It is therefore essential to walk in such a way that you can get out at low tide and low waves at the bottom of the Atlantic and return there safely.

Alongside the Gries and Gamchi canyons, the Spiggenbach is a canyoning gem in the Kandertal valley near Reichenbach (Bern/Berne/Berner Oberland). The canyon is very scenic and the abseiling sections are a fun challenge. Caution: Don't tie out too early! In several places there were two steps down, this also applies to the C32! My 70m rope was twice as long everywhere. Approach via A8 exit 19 in Spiez and continue towards Kandersteg. In Reichenbach turn left towards Kiental. The parking lot is located directly after the bridge over the Spiggenbach. The equipment can still be driven about 1.3 km in the direction of Griesalp to the Spiggengrund junction. Follow the road to Spiggengrund on foot for about 1.7 km until you reach the first bridge over the Spiggenbach just after the weir. Never underestimate the amount of water in this canyon and the warnings regarding the danger of sudden floods! (see link to schlucht.ch for more details) Abseiling heights (estimated!!): C12, C15, C14, C28, C32 For details of the tour see https://www.christian-balla.de/Spiggenbach or video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phki8itowUA

Exit at the prohibition signs, which clearly and unmistakably indicate where you have to leave the canyon. The route initially climbs steeply until you reach the hiking trail after a few meters. At the hiking trail, turn left to the upper parking lot or right to Angon. We had split up here: 3 people with the equipment to Angon and 1 person without equipment to the car to pick us up in Angon.

Been to Chichin a total of 12 times between 2014 and 2022, including 1 time at night and at water levels ranging from moderate to crazy. You should definitely know the canyon well at night or when there is a lot of water. The facilities have always been excellent, but have improved over the years. There are several routes at key points. You only need 2x70m of ropes if you don't know or can't find the short routes. A sensational ratio of access and canyoning pleasure. A very beautiful canyon throughout. However, since the flood in September 2015, there have been many stones in the pools, so that jumps and slides are virtually non-existent. The highlight of the canyon is the anchor right next to the geyser. It's impressive when you change sides directly below the geyser (dry->dry! Rappels through the main stream are usually not possible!) and stand directly under the water with the stream of water shooting a few centimetres over your head.

16.07.2022 Roßgumpenbach Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

The Rossgumpenbach is an absolutely worthwhile canyon. The access is a long but easy to walk hiking trail. Access should be made early if possible to avoid the midday sun on the ascent. It can also be difficult to find a parking space in Holzgau during the walk. First follow the hiking trail to the Rossgumpenalm. About 5 minutes before the Rossgumpenalm, cross the Roßgumpenbach. From here, you should first check the water level at the Rossgumpen waterfall. Then follow the European long-distance hiking trail E5 towards Kemptener Hütte. This is followed by a steep climb out of sight of the Roßgumpenbach. As soon as the path leads to the Roßgumpenbach for a short moment, the 2nd part is reached. After about another 15 minutes of walking, we turn off the path to the right at a small refuge to the 1st part of the Roßgumpenbach. In the canyon, it's one step after another. There is only a short running section between the upper and lower parts. You can leave the canyon right at the beginning of the lower parts or start from here. The rock is mostly grippy. There is a higher waterfall in both the upper and lower parts, so at least two 45m ropes are required. If there are enough people, a shorter rope, e.g. 30m, is also recommended.

The approach to the upper and middle sections is not obvious. It goes right through the forest, sometimes steeply uphill. The middle section begins with two very nice, rewarding abseils.

The Hochalpbach is fantastically scenic, but there is a lot of walking and climbing involved. The approach via hiking trail 432 is easy to find and easy to walk, but contains a few sections where it is steeply uphill. In the canyon, especially at the beginning, there are occasional scree fields which quickly start to move. In sunny, warm weather, there are plenty of pools that offer a refreshing dip. With a 5mm Neoprean, however, it quickly gets a little warm when there is little water.

04.11.2021 Rybibach Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

One key section follows the next - this canyon is highly recommended! The Rybi Canyon is a very beautiful canyon between Lauterbrunnen and Wengen. The access is a very easy to walk hiking trail with a superiore view of the valley (Lauterbrunnen), the Swiss mountains and the Mättlibach. The Rybi canyon is only visible from the hiking trail at second glance: The high waterfall of Canyon Mättli attracts everyone's attention. The Rybi is a little to the left and is much more difficult to spot. The Rybi canyon has several impulsive key points. There is a good shower at several waterfalls. The canyon is moderately well equipped - a few new anchor points wouldn't hurt.

Good alternative if there is too much water everywhere else. 1 waterfall, rappel from the forest. See https://www.christian-balla.de/~130 ATTENTION: We have drilled the intermediate stand in the middle of the waterfall. This is probably impossible to find or very quickly in a critical condition. Be sure to take material for the intermediate belay or sufficiently long ropes!

30.10.2021 Rosenlaui (unterer) Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

A very rarely accessible canyon. There is usually only a short time window in which professionals can attempt a canyoning tour here. The Rosenlaui is a very beautiful and absolutely worthwhile canyon. It is a very short tour. The water is fresh and long waiting times are not recommended. The condition of the anchors is borderline in places. The canyon is narrow and deep, it also gets relatively dark for a short time - I only used my headlamp to take photos. We had a 30m and a 55m rope with us - with the 55 meter rope we got down everywhere on the double line without any problems. Note on the "short time window": It is a canyon that is open to tourists. Canyoning is prohibited during the season. We were in Rosenlaui shortly after the end of the season. A few days later, we wanted to go to Rosenlaui a second time. We abandoned the second attempt on the approach at -8°C, as the road was already completely iced over and it was impossible to make any progress.

At a higher underground waterfall, we only found one sling around a rock, but it held.

01.10.2021 Caldone Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

A great adventure for canyonists with lots of experience. Rio Caldone, also known as Val Boazzo, is a very beautiful canyon that exits in Lecco. The canyon consists of two parts, which differ considerably in scenic terms. The tour with both sections takes a relatively long time - including parking, the tour takes about 7 hours in total. There is a very dangerous siphon in the upper part! Tour video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRwxzWQSqoE

30.09.2021 Mengasca Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

The Mengasca canyon begins with a very challenging access, despite the parking lot. From the parking lot to the junction to Motto dei Damini, the trail climbs steadily uphill on a very good hiking trail, followed by a good path with no significant difference in altitude. From Motto dei Damini you have a beautiful view towards the valley, the path is easy to miss from here but is regularly marked with red dots. The descent is steep in places - the path is challenging and the use of canyoning ropes is recommended in at least one place. After 1 to 1 1/2 hours you reach the entry point. The canyon is very beautiful and great fun, but also has several technically demanding key points. The highlight is the 55 meter high waterfall.

Esino inférieur is a very short canyon in the Italian village of Perledo. This canyon is beautiful and deeply incised, the abseils are not particularly high. Within a week I was in the Esino 3 times, once at night. The access is only a few meters away from the parking lot. We left both cars at the upper parking lot during the tour and only picked them up for the exit after the tour.

A scenic canyon that is little known. Although this canyon is not the pearl of the region, it is not to be sneezed at. The canyon Rasga was partly moderately, partly miserably and partly not at all equipped. The drill was in frequent use on our tour, so this canyon is now much better equipped, but still not optimal. There are many natural anchor points. Lots of trees and greenery make this canyon a beautiful forest canyon. There are occasional narrow sections.

24.09.2021 Isorno (Inferiore) - Piemont Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Alto Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

An absolutely magnificent canyon north of Domodossola is the Torrent de Isorno (inférieur/aval). The access takes about 30 minutes, initially without any significant difference in altitude and later it goes downhill. At the waypoint marked on the map https://www.christian-balla.de/Isorno, it is worth taking a detour: instead of passing the mountain on the left, go up to the summit and enjoy the view - but then you have to return to the waypoint. The last part of the access is not without danger: caution is advised here. The canyon starts with a few minutes of walking and downclimbing. This is followed by the first of 6 anchors, 4 of which are between 15 and 20 meters high. The highest rappel is 28 meters high, although rope is still needed for the rope traverse at C28. The C28 is the highlight of the Isorno: it gets dark and the abseil line runs through the thundering water of the waterfall. Once at the bottom, you swim through the waterfall. The canyon exits at the dam wall. When the water level is low, it is possible to climb onto the dam wall on the left-hand side. Video of this tour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV9o7XTHCrI

Our first canyoning tour in the Domodossola region in September 2021 had to be canceled due to heavy rainfall. The following day, our search for a suitable canyon led us to the Rio Segnara.

12.07.2021 Hirschwängbach Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Bajo Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

This canyon would have a lot of potential if it had been redesigned in places. The Hirschwängbach is a beautiful canyon on the border between Germany and Austria. Access begins at the Hotel Ammerwald near Reutte in Tyrol, close to the Plansee lake. The hiking trail towards Berggasthaus Bleckenau leads over a small wooden bridge over a branch of the Schafblassenbach. A waterfall can be seen to the left of the wooden bridge, below the bridge is the entry point to the canyon. The canyon has many downclimbs and occasionally has the character of aquatic hikes between the abseils. These downclimbs make the canyon challenging. The rappels have the following heights: 12m, 15m, 10m, 10m, 15m, 10m, 10m, 15m, 10m, 12m. Not all anchor points were in good condition, one was no longer usable. However, there were either natural anchor points available or downclimbing/running around was possible. It is recommended to have a 35m-40m rope or a drill and rakes with you. The canyon has potential, but could be redone in some places. Be careful when downclimbing: The rock is mostly grippy but sometimes very slippery. There are often rocks in the water that are difficult to recognize. Video of the tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTbQKPil8Fw

12.07.2021 Archbach Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

A canyon with slides and jumps to let off steam and have fun. The Stuiben Falls are a classic among the canyons near Reutte. There is probably always someone out and about here and access is regulated. It starts with a 5m jump. This is followed by a 25m high abseil. This is followed by another jump of approx. 4m. The highlight is an 18m+15m abseil, whereby the 15m are often also jumped. A jump at this height is not without risk! This is followed by another jump of about 5m. Recommendation: Get out now and return to the parking lot - alternatively, there are more jumps after a long run. The following applies to all jumps: Always check the depth of the water pools and possible obstacles with diving goggles beforehand! Tour video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnc3cEm5tlo

On 23.09.2020 we went canyoning in the Cascades de Thuy (Torrent de Septumian). This canyon is a very short canyon. The highlight is a 107m high waterfall, with two intermediate stands. Anchor very well placed. Be careful, there is an extreme risk of kicking stones loose Clear water as long as no one is in the canyon. Dirty water is created by the canyonists.

New chain for rappel guidé on the C35, at the bottom left a few meters after both stems. For rappel guidé, a 50-meter rope is required for guiding and at least 45 meters for rappel.

Mondelli is a fantastic canyon. A canyoning tour in the Mondelli leaves nothing to be desired: Lots of great slides, some awesome jumps and many fantastic abseils. The scenic landscape is very beautiful and you have a great view. What's missing are deep gulches: there are only a few meters every now and then. This canyon should preferably be visited when the sun is shining. It is worth it! The canyon is long, so it's better not to do it in one day, but take your time, have fun and get off at the bridge to Mondelli and get back on again later.

10.07.2020 Mala Koritnica Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

Koritnica is a beautiful canyon in Slovenia. The canyon is cut to a depth and the rocks and water have enchanting colors. A canyoning tour here doesn't take long under professional conditions, beginners quickly get cold and may reach their limits in some places. Right at the beginning, directly at the first abseiling point, white water experience is helpful. Once you reach the bottom, you have to cross the white water to leave the pool. Not really a problem, but if in doubt, it helps if the first person has a throw bag with them. There is another very nice jump and shortly before the exit, it gets a little more technically challenging: a few meters of long shimmying using the cling and stem technique above the white water.

As access to the Estrechos de Balcés It is important to keep an overview of all the side arms. During access we came across another group who tried to convince us that we were in the neighboring canyon, where our ropes would have been too short.

A beautiful canyon, but it's a long way to walk. We entered via Portiacha. This was followed by a very extensive aquatic hike. Very scenic, but unfortunately you don't get a real canyoning feeling. As this canyon is very beautiful, I am glad to have done it once. However, without any rappels, slides or jumps, this is not a tour that I intend to repeat in the near future.

31.10.2018 Torrent Fondo 'Mortitx' Christian Balla ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completado ✔ traducción alternativa ➜

For a superiore canyoning tour you need a sensational canyon, optional conditions, a good group and a comfortable access and return route. Most of the time. For Mortitx, you need good conditions (sun & optimal water quantity) and a good group. If you then approach it with the mindset that you are undertaking an extensive hike, which includes a few hours of canyoning in between, then you can look forward to a perfect, sensational day! With water, Mortitx is a fantastic canyon. For the way back, it is advisable to have a flashlight and a compass or GPS with you, as you can potentially lose your bearings on the way back through the grass in the dark.

Acles is a very beautiful canyon in the High Alps in France. The water is fresh and clear, the rock formations are impressive and there are some great abseiling spots. A canyoning tour in the Acles does not take very long. Visited in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. It was a tool every time! We changed our plans for a tour planned for 2022 at short notice, as the Acles canyon was devastated by storms in September. According to descente, however, several months later (in 2023) many people were back in Acles Photos and videos: https://www.christian-balla.de/Acles
