Holtes / Holtit: Fine del canyon

2025-06-14: The access road is a real highlight😉 Stands all OK and available. Currently still a little running water. Very beautiful canyon.

2025-04-28: Some of the rock was very slippery. The following anchors were re-drilled as they no longer looked very good: - C12 (left before the 65; single bolt) - C65 (top right; double piton) - C85 (top right;...
2024-10-24: The pools at the 2x 6m and the 16m jump are all extremely deep, then once a bit surprisingly silted up. At the 85m waterfall, an intermediate belaystation was lovingly placed by hand (Benji sends his...
Ritorno: After the corridor, a stream joins from the left. Follow the streambed until you reach an old concrete structure, which was probably intended as a retention system. Here you join the track that leads back to the road. 1,5 h. The track is on the right-hand side, about 300 m further downstream than indicated on some maps. The best way to reach the path is to climb up the dried-up riverbed.

Avvicinamento: Directly at the parking lot.
Giro: The tour begins immediately narrowly under the bridge, some jumps are possible. A few walking passages follow, then it briefly becomes open and a 25 m waterfall follows. After that, there are only extremely elaborate emergency exits. It gets narrower and is soon followed by a 65 m waterfall (divisible into 15 m and 50 m) and shortly afterwards an 85 m waterfall. After a longer walking passages, a C 40 ends the technical part. This is followed by a very beautiful 3 km corridor, which has to be mastered by swimming and walking (3 - 3.5 h). The rock faces are up to 150 m high and in places you can touch both gorge walls with outstretched arms. Caution! Very aquatic in some places!

2026-04-03: Beautiful tour, clear water. Water level probably rather high.

Commento: Am Hang parken und nicht zum Bach hin, ansonsten Fahren die Einheimischen LKW's gegen die Autos evtl.
Accesso: It is best to park at the entry (mountain side, not facing the river). If there is a second car, it can be parked at the "beach parking lot" (see map), otherwise it will be a longer walk back.
Ritorno: Follow the orographic right-hand path up to the parking lot, where in the best case the second car is parked. Otherwise, follow the road to the left from the parking lot until you reach the main road. Continue to the right until you reach the bends where you entered the stream.

Giro: There are some fixed ropes in the tour. Be sure to wear gloves, as they are very rough and we destroyed our hands a bit....

2024-07-11: Short but very beautiful. The arrival between the massive walls of the osumi river and the short passage to the exit are well worth it. Water level in the osumi river is low.
2024-06-20: Unfortunately very little water. Only a pair of neoprene pants will do.... Nevertheless, even though the tour is very short, we really enjoyed it.
Accesso: from Çorovoda at the Osumi river to the parking lot exit see route on google maps under links, also for the conversion to P entry
Ritorno: Exit after rock slabs at a sandy bank on the right. You come to a path that initially goes right up the slope. At a fork, turn left and you come to the picnic area and the car.

Giro: First a few smaller rappels in Blezenckë, then the two higher steps down into the Osumi river. The last step is also called the "waterfall of love". In the Osumi River then about 450m down, see photo album and video under Links.
