Grünwaldgraben
2025-05-06: At 4th rappel dead chamois in pool, Some stands tightened as nuts were loose, more slippery than last year,
2024-06-22: So far everything was great! After the 4th rappel no bolt, downclimb approx. 15m. Same after the 5th rappel, here approx. 35m inclined wall to downclimb. (place bolt if necessary!) Last rappel; bolt o...

Simplbach: Inizio del canyon
2026-06-29: Everything's fine—not much water, of course, but it's pretty slippery—a nice, brief bit of fun….

2025-06-08: Cool canyon, and after overnight rainfall it's at 5 * Parking right near the bridge, at the canyon itself.
Commento: (cwiki_1)
Avvicinamento: From the parking lot take the path on the right next to the brook up to the brine path (large power pole) --> cross the brook on the left and immediately after the bridge follow the steep path uphill on the right at the monument --> after approx. 20min. on the steep path you reach a power plant house (pipeline) --> here do not continue uphill, but without a large difference in altitude on the right. follow the tracks in the direction of the canyons --> after a short steep traverse incl. gravel gully you reach an old rusty steel rope (Attention!!!!! fragile terrain, difficult access) --> follow the rusty steel rope to the entry in the canyon (Tip: with canyoning beginners you also have the possibility to rappel from a tree with a sling on the right about 40m into the canyon --> see topographic view).
Giro: The canyon is very open with very good and clear abseils and shallow pools --> good practice tour to prepare for higher abseils --> mostly little water (in summer partly dry therefore better after rainfall). After the descent over the boulder field (upper entry) the first two rappels follow immediately --> left C8 and right C40 --> here you already have a nice view of the Hallstätter See -->continuous rappels follow --> right. C25, left C4, right C20 (narrow passage), left C7 (also bypassable), C5, C20, right C15, followed by the highest rappel on the right C45 (also divisible C25 + C20) to reach the exposed chain anchor on the right you rappel from the left about 10m. --> The last narrow abseil stage C10 follows in pools with old dilapidated water drainage.

Avvicinamento: 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.
Giro: 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...

We tried the wild crossing without the gravel path but it is not recommended because of the ditches in between.

2024-06-22: We could not find any W-rings. Rappels on trees possible. Lots of wood in the stream.
2023-10-08: All hooks ok, same amount of wood as always :-)
Avvicinamento: From the parking lot, follow the mountain road (Lohhäuselweg) in the direction of Gasthaus Fageralm/Entrudisalm. After approx. 150m (in the first bend on the right) you can take a shortcut through the forest and come back to the road a little further up. At the next fork in the road, continue left towards Höhenwald. Now follow the road without any difference in altitude to the bridge over the Lettenbach.
Giro: Who would expect a short canyoning tour near the city of Salzburg? The Lettenbach is a nice little forest canyon which, after enough rain, offers a short tour for canyoneers who only have a short time. All steps have been drilled with W-rings. However, most of the steps can also be slid, jumped or downclimbed after checking the water depth. The highest compulsory abseil point is 15m high. The conglomerate rock in the water channel is very grippy, but the surrounding area is very slippery. Without the wooden obstructions, the tour would certainly be suitable for children. After about an hour, you reach the hiking trail of the Glasenbachklamm gorge. This is where the Lettenbach flows into the Klausbach.

Accesso: From Park & Ride Salzburg Süd, drive over the Hellbrunn bridge in the direction of Elsbethen. At the traffic circle, turn right onto Halleiner Landesstraße. Follow this road for only a few 100m until just before the warehouse. Turn left here onto Lohhäuselweg and continue to the large parking lot (Glasenbach hiking trail).

Hinterer Stehrergraben: Inizio del canyon
2026-07-18: Anchors are only where it is really necessary, so be prepared for awkward downclimbes. Done without wetsuit, the water is fresh but fine.
2025-04-27: Very slippery, lots of wood
2024-07-01: All single bolt anchors - fine for children hopefully. Unless youre having a super good try, I'd expect 35min walking from the carpark - more with kids. Lots of novel little slides, and a few jumps...
Avvicinamento: First follow the overgrown forest road that leads directly into the sparse forest at km 6.2. After a short time, the forest road turns into a path that now leads more steeply uphill through the forest and after a few meters in altitude meets the old forest road again. From here you follow the old forest road with only a slight incline (partly more like an overgrown path), which meets a new forest road after about 15 minutes (large open area). Follow the new forest road to the right for only a short distance until you reach the entry point at approx. 740m (it doesn't matter much, but the Hinterer Stehrergraben entry point is not before, but after the bends).
Giro: With its open gorge character, many slides and small abseiling steps, the Hinterer Stehrergraben is certainly one of the most rewarding beginner gorges in the Salzkammergut, alongside the Burggrabenklamm. Depending on the participants, weather and time of year, a 3mm neoprene may be sufficient. The canyoning tour never gets boring as the walk, slide, rappel and downclimb sections alternate well. A higher cascade in the middle of the canyon of approx. 16m can be bypassed via a fixed rope on the right. After a few slides, another 16m step follows, which can also be slid from the middle after checking. This is followed by smaller walking, sliding and downclimbing sections before you finally reach the highest, clearly visible abseil point (10m+20m). After the last small 3m step (possibly a jump), you leave the stream on the right at approx. 540m.

Commento: Parkplatz bei km 6,2 (cwiki)
Accesso: From Mondsee drive in the direction of Unterach/Bad Ischl, then turn right towards Weißenbach am Attersee. After the campsite in Weißbach, turn right towards Bad Ischl and follow the B153 to km 6.2. Either park immediately on the right in the forest road next to the cycle path (little space) or continue for about 100m and park in the large parking lot to the left of the main road.
Ritorno: Through the forest to the main road and right back to the parking lot.

Fischbach (Bluntautal): Inizio del canyon
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
2026-07-11: All belay stations are okay; rappelling is still possible through the hole in the rock; the rope traverse at the narrow section is slightly damaged (but still usable)
Avvicinamento: 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)
Giro: 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.

Avvicinamento: From the parking lot, follow the hiking trail signposted Alpgartensteig, which after a short time leads to the Wappbach stream and a metal bridge (exit). From the metal bridge, you can either hike up the orographic left or right path next to the stream (Alpgarten circular trail) as both paths lead about the same distance to the upper metal bridge (entry).
Giro: The Wappbach is the lower course of the Alpgartenbach and is already on the German side. The canyon is ideal for a morning or afternoon tour and is also suitable for beginners or children. Immediately after the metal bridge at the entry point, there are two small slides and one of the two highest abseiling points (C15) in a narrow passage. This is followed by a small step and a longer open walking passage before the canyon narrows again. In the next part, there are several small steps that can be rappelled, slid or downclimbed. The next higher rappel (C10) can alternatively be dry rappelled on the left. Now follows the most beautiful part of the tour, a longer parts with the second 15m high abseil in the watercourse that goes 90° around the bends, beautiful washouts and some small slides. After another open walking passage, there is a casual abseil (C10) with a shower under a clamping block and the last incised gorge section where there are still many small slides and abseils. Towards the bottom, the canyon opens up more and more and you reach the lower metal bridge where you can decide whether you want to get out or overcome the last abseil. Attention! In one of the last pools where you can slide (approx. 100m before the bridge) there is a piece of metal (Oct.2023). Unfortunately, the piece of metal cannot be retrieved. Use the last rappel point before the bridge to rappel the second point, otherwise you will have to downclimb after the rappel.
