Sintesi:
Technical abseilcanyon renowned for its continuity, dark atmosphere, little to no escape route and devastating floods/mudflows that put the anchors to the test. Before committing one must evaluate current state of the canyon and avoid rain or thunderstorms at all cost.

Sintesi:
Technical abseilcanyon renowned for its continuity, dark atmosphere, little to no escape route and devastating floods/mudflows that put the anchors to the test. Before committing one must evaluate current state of the canyon and avoid rain or thunderstorms at all cost.
Accesso:
Exit the Inntalautobahn A12 at Schönwies/Mils east of Landeck. At the western end of Schönwies, turn left off the main road into the village. Kronburg is signposted. Follow the mini-signs to Kronburg (west of the railroad and then into the forest). After 5 minutes the road leads over a bridge, park here.
Avvicinamento (45 min):
From the P we head to the bridge to check waterlevels and find a small, very straightforward trail on the orographic R with many viewpoints into the canyon and possible intermediate entrances. Your loss if you choose not to do the upper canyon. We continue steep, neglecting the panoramic hiking trail, until we reach a tunnel (road on our left). After the tunnel we continue 100m to easily descend into the river bed, backtracking these 100m to the start of the canyon.
Giro (4 h):
Multiple intermediate entrances exist that are only interesting for commercial tours, described here is the full tour. The entrance abseil originally was from a tree (at the exit of the approach tunnel). Now, an anchor is to be found on a large boulder R. Best not to pull back the rope yet, but check the state of the anchor on the second and highest abseil (+-30m) of the tour (R, two glue-in bolts, damaged since many years). A continuous string of smaller abseils follow, some of which are newer (2022-2024) and well-protected, recommended is to stay in the rope, to access the anchors. The lower canyon is excessively bolted, and often with fixed ropes. Two emergency exits now, one L and another R with fixed rope to ascend and reach the bridge in 5 min.
Ritorno (15 min):
Either exit using the fixed rope R and reach the bridge/parking in 5 min. or continue in the canyon until we reach the Inn valley, return R via a small straightforward trail that cuts through the woods and back to the road.

Idrologia:
Water capture above, and release in the canyon halfway. Devastating floods with mud and other debris such as trees, most likely caused by the rupture of natural dams in/above the canyon.
