Von Cittiglio (siehe unter Cascade di Cittiglio; Torrente S. Giulio) auf der SP 8 etwa 2 km in Richtung Varese, dann links abbiegen auf die SP45. Es geht hinauf nach Azzio und weiter nach Castello Cabiaglio (11 km ab Cittiglio). Durch den Ort und weiter Richtung Brinzio. Nach wenigen hundert Metern taucht die Straße in einem weiten Linksbogen in den Wald ein. Hier findet sich rechterhand ein Bildstock mit Quelle ("Parco del Campi dei Fiori").

From Cittiglio (see under Cascade di Cittiglio; Torrente S. Giulio) on the SP 8 for about 2 km in the direction of Varese, then turn left onto the SP45. Go up to Azzio and continue to Castello Cabiaglio (11 km from Cittiglio). Go through the village and continue towards Brinzio. After a few hundred meters the road dips into the woods in a wide curve to the left. Here, on the righthand side, there is a wayside shrine with a spring ("Parco del Campi dei Fiori").

Toboggan (C03) possible and also last two pools (C04 and C05) jump possible. All the anchor points in order, water flow low but refreshing. Return path with one section full of fallen trees.

Short but enjoyable. C01 toboggan is possible with caution due to shallow water. C03 toboggan is possible and in C05 and C06 pond jump is possible

Anche se per gli altri non sembra io ho preferito questo al casc sarà che qui l'acqua era pulita, abbastanza breve, primo canyon nel porfido che faccio

Although for others it does not seem I preferred this to the casc will be that here the water was clean, quite short, first canyon in porphyry I do

Durch das zurück gehende Wasser gut machbar. Der liebevoll angelegte Zustieg und Rückweg verfällt leider und fängt an zu zuwachsen.

Easily doable due to the receding water. The lovingly laid out access and return path is unfortunately falling into disrepair and is beginning to overgrow.

Prima calata tobogabile, ma bisogna fare attenzione poichè attualmente la pozza è poco profonda, circa fino al petto. Molto bello anche il toboga della terza calata, fatto senza problemi. Le ultime 2 pozze si sono finalmente liberate del tutto e sono perfettamente libere e tuffabili. Torrente breve ma divertente e rinfrescante

First rappel tobogable, but care must be taken as currently the puddle is shallow, about up to the chest. Third rappel toboga also very nice, done without problems. The last 2 pools have finally cleared completely and are perfectly free and plungeable. Short but fun and refreshing creek

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Caprera Pas de problemes avec le debit, la premier vasque avec mouvement d'eau est peu profonde. (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/21720/observations.html)

First pool with toboggan possible. The other toboga (third pitch) ok top. Last two pools with Jump possible. All the anchor points in order, water flow higher than normal but without any problem.

Prima pozza poco profonda, toboga sconsigliato. Secondo toboga ok. La penultima pozza sta tornando profonda, è tuffabile ma con attenzione. Ultima pozza tuffo ok. Qualche albero caduto sul sentiero di rientro, ma si passa bene.

First shallow pool, toboga not recommended. Second toboga ok. Second to last puddle is getting deep again, it is plungeable but with care. Last puddle dive ok. A few fallen trees on the return path, but it passes well.
