Fischbach (Bluntautal): Départ du Canyon
2026-07-31: Everything's great! Slides 1 and 2 can be done with your feet tucked in, and Slide 3 is also jumpable today!
2026-07-21: Everything top!
2026-07-20: Everything's great; the quick link is installed on the first rappel; jumps and slides are feasible after inspection
Approche: From the Bärenwirt follow the forest road over the bridge in the direction of Jochalmen --> after approx. 15 min. you will come to a small border hut --> at the fork in the road turn left in the direction of the waterfall --> after a short while you will cross a stream --> then continue to follow hiking trail 451 up through the forest (also possible via forest road) --> after approx. 10/15 min. you meet the forest road again --> here you take a shortcut over a steep forest road until you are back on the forest road again --> you follow this until the end --> at the point where the forest road ends, it is best to put on the neoprene and harness --> the entry is in the course of the forest road a little further above and is reached via a well-trodden small path next to the canyon (entry via fixed ropes and abseil point on the tree)
Tour: The entry into the stream leads over a sling around the tree where you dry rappel about 25m --> arrived in the stream follow three short slides which can also be jumped depending on the water level --> after that you would have a last steep exit possibility on the right before it then goes over an approx. 25m high dry rappel point (with rope traverse) next to the so-called cannon tube in a cavity down --> from the cavity it goes immediately approx.7m incl. shower over the next mostly very slippery step --> for safety a rope traverse leads to the next chain anchor at the highest dry 30m rappel point in the canyon --> after a few steps there is a narrow point which can be easily passed by a fixed rope traverse --> the next approx. 20m rappel point runs directly in the water and has a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the rappel point is a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the rappel point is a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the next 20m rappel point is a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the next 20m rappel point is a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the next 20m rappel point is a small overhang with a sharp edge --> the next 20m rappel point is a small overhang with a small overhang with a sharp edge. Overhang with sharp edge --> a shallow pool follows (often felt with gravel)--> a short walking passages and small slide follows before one stands at the last cascade--> if the water level allows it, is rappelled here left approx. 15m into a beautiful cavity, followed by an approx. 10m step into the last pool--> alternatively, this cascade can be dry r. approx.30m rappel--> then follow the shallow streambed mostly on the left side for about 15min. until you see a small wooden hut next to the streambed--> here rappel left out of the stream.

Accès: Coming from the A10 take the exit Golling and drive in the direction of the train station --> before the train station you drive over the tracks and bridge that leads over the Salzach --> immediately after the bridge on the left continue into the Bluntautal --> you follow the road to the bridge after the first large parking lot for hikers (Attention!!! on weekends and holidays the entrance is only allowed until 10am for cars). --> continue over the small wooden bridge and the forest road at walking pace to the Bärenwirt --> park at the Bärenwirt parking lot.
Retour: From the wooden hut via the forest road back to the Bärenwirt (Attention! many MTB).

Fischbach (Heutal Unken): Départ du Canyon
2026-08-01: A nice canyon, a good alternative when it rains. The stream can handle plenty of water. Currently very slippery in places. Some jumps are definitely possible.
2026-06-27: Everything's great
2026-06-25: Fun trip. Bolted for guiding. Some nice jumps, slides, and abseils. Very open and low commitment. Could walk up to the walking path in a lot of places. It is worth it if you’re close by.
Approche: From the inn Heutal follow the path behind the house to the small stream --> after the small bridge follow the path for about 200m --> after a wooden fence passage you can already see the first waterfall (entry).
Tour: The tour is except two high waterfalls rather easy --> not to be underestimated are the slippery places --> at an old hermitage is the first waterfall about 25m high (use tree right as a fixed point) --> it follows a varied streambed with several small rappel points and small jumps --> in the middle part comes a beautiful rock breakthrough through which you can rappel --> kl. Curved chute --> you can also see a beautiful tributary on the right (Staubfall: see description Staubfall) from which the water falls over the hiking trail into the canyon --> be careful in snowy winters the avalanche cone in the lower part of the canyon can remain for a long time --> there you also meet the second high ca.30m waterfall (good place to stand) --> after the second waterfall you no longer need ropes --> the easier exit would be down the right at the wooden bridge that leads over the stream, but this is on the German side where canyoning is prohibited.

Approche: Recommendation: Park at the cable car in Lofer and take the Almbahn I and Almbahn II up to the Lofer Alm. From there, follow the waterfall path until the path meets the stream. Alternatively: From Gasthof Loderbichl, follow the "Wasserfallweg" in the direction of Bimalm. The trail initially follows the toll road and later turns right towards Würmbach. At a junction of two field paths, you have to stay on the waterfall path at the top and not go down towards Klausmaisalm. The path passes a waterfall, then another 2-3 minutes and you will find the entry point at two pools. You can also continue to the bridge, but this part is not worthwhile.
Tour: Cool down in the pool, then first rappel single bolt left with 4m. Short walking passages, then anchors hidden in the middle in front of the hole, then chain anchors on the left and over the tourist waterfall. Then comes a short downclimb and the only deep pool of the tour (jump 2-3m possible). This is followed by the rappel highway with 20/25 rappels, some with single hooks, some from tree slings (see topographic view for details). The penultimate rappel is a 45m, followed by another 20m. Then you walk along the stream for about 150m until you climb up to the meadows on the right. Supposedly there is also a lower part which is not so beautiful...

Retour: About 150m after the last rappel, you can see the meadow on the top right to which you climb up, then you go up towards the alpine pasture and soon see a house behind which the gravel path leads back to the hiking trail and from there back to the car. We tried the wild crossing without the gravel path but it is not recommended because of the ditches in between.

Accès: Option 1: Drive to Lofer and park there Option 2: First drive to Lofer, then take the mountain road in the village to the Loferer Alm and park there before the start of the toll road at Gasthof Loderbichl. There are only a few parking spaces there, we were asked to park in front of the fence at a right angle to the fence and not to use the signposted parking spaces above.

Rosittenbachklamm: Départ du Canyon
2026-05-22: All stands okay, known to have plenty of wood in the canyon

2025-04-13: Lots of wood, partly loose. Fuses ok. You can forget the upper entry.
Commentaire: (cwiki_1)
Approche: From the parking lot follow the gravel path past the houses to the Rositten bridge (= exit at 460m) --> here follow the steep hiking trail 460 towards Zeppezauerhaus --> before the 3rd concrete obstruction visible on the hiking trail (approx. 30min walking time) follow the small steep path right down to the stream at approx. 670m. (Most canyoneers, however, usually enter the stream after approx. 15 minutes of access in order to make only the more beautiful lower part of the canyon).
Tour: The canyon is rather open and unspectacular in the upper part ->several small drop-offs follow one another. Several small rappels, walking and climbing passages follow each other until the canyon narrows -> from here it becomes more interesting -> in the lower narrow section of the canyon there are beautiful washed-out corridors and pools with small steps that have to be rappelled or downclimbed -> unfortunately, tree trunks, some of which form large lice infestations, are always a nuisance here -> most of the anchors are well attached and have often been renewed due to several floods -> if there is a risk of thunderstorms, the canyon should definitely be avoided --> the best time to walk is between 10 a.m. and 12 noon.

Retour: After the last bottleneck, either climb up on the right via a small path to the hiking trail or on the left before the Rositten bridge at 460 m altitude --> then return the last few meters to the parking lot.

Retour: You have two options: 1. leave the stream after the prominent clamping block on the right at approx. 540m and soon reach the steep access path. 2. after the prominent clamping block, you bypass the last cascades on the left and at the end rappel approx. 20m from a tree. Shortly afterwards, exit the stream on the right before the bedload barrier and follow the road to the parking lot.

Approche: Directly at the parking lot you can see the Glanbach (not Koppenbach). From the parking lot, follow the Brunntalweg on the orographic left side of the stream to the exit of the road. After the last houses, you will see a boulder barrier on the right (lower exit Koppenbach). The short but very steep and rarely used path up towards the ghost town begins right at the striking large boulder. The path leads along a former marble quarry track that has been partially blasted through the rock. At the exit of the track rock face (after approx. 15min ascent approx. 640m) there is a small fortification wall on the right. Along the wall, continue straight ahead to an old steep path with the remains of a rope railing down to the stream at approx. 615m.
Tour: The Koppenbach is also called the Devil's Gorge by the locals and is incorrectly named Glanbach on most maps. However, the Glanbach only begins at the foot of the mountain (at the confluence of the Koppenbach, Kühllbach and Fürstenbrunner Quelhöhle). The short canyon, which is more interesting after rainfall, is rich in vegetation with several small steps and slippery spots. Small chutes are better rappelled than slid due to their narrow width. At the highest step (20m cascade) there is a chain anchor, otherwise mostly only Inox single pitons. The best light is available from midday and the lush green moss provides a beautiful contrast to the dark gorge surroundings. For a short morning/afternoon hop through a small canyon or as a combination with the neighboring "Rosittenbach", the tour is always worthwhile. The "ghost town" (marble quarry), Fürstenbrunn spring cave (built in 1875), the small Grassl cave (esoteric power place) and the Karlohr (22m shaft cave) are also historically interesting and within easy reach. All of these destinations can be visited on a shorter circular hike. As a starting point, we recommend access via the old track path to the ghost town (see Internet).

Approche: Descend from the parking lot to the gorge (yellow trail markers labeled "Tauglklamm"). Just above the small bridge, you'll find a tree with a fixed rope leading down into the canyon (as of 2026).
Tour: After the fixed rope at the entry, no rope is needed (as of 2026). This is followed by a very beautiful, approximately 20-meter-long section of the canyon carved into smooth, polished limestone, with several small spots for jumping and slides. Fixed ropes are also installed in some places. Shortly after the narrowest point, the canyon opens up. Here, you can exit to the left (end of the canyon) or continue the long river walk to the Roman Bridge (alternative exit from the canyon). (There is also a variant that involves entering via the Gmainbach tributary to the Taugl, featuring several short rappels of 5–10 meters and the Gmainbach waterfall, which is approximately 40 meters high.)
