Anfahrt:
Inntalautobahn A12 bei Schönwies/Mils östlich von Landeck abfahren. Am westlichen Ortsende von Schönwies links von der Bundesstraße in den Ort abbiegen. Kronburg ist angeschrieben. Den Minischildern nach Kronburg folgen (westlich der Bahn entlang und dann in den Wald). nach 5 min führt die Straße über eine Brücke, hier parken.
Zustieg (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.
Tour (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.
Rückweg (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.

Water levels are stable, some pools are clean of gravel. Did another effort to remove damaged anchors, in total since i started with this +-40 anchors. Warning: 1 glue-in with ring (right bank, half-way the canyon) is broken, but still may be of use since this passage is practically downclimbable without aid. 3 hours for the full canyon in 3 persons.
Wasserstände sind stabil, einige Becken sind sauber von Kies. Hat eine weitere Anstrengung, um beschädigte Anker zu entfernen, insgesamt seit ich begann mit diesem +-40 Anker. Achtung: 1 Klebeanker mit Ring (rechtes Ufer, auf halber Strecke der Schlucht) ist gebrochen, kann aber immer noch von Nutzen sein, da diese Passage praktisch ohne Hilfe abwärts kletterbar ist. 3 Stunden für die gesamte Schlucht mit 3 Personen.

Removed many of the fixed ropes before the heavy rains that are forecasted. Noticed a couple of new trees and (not stainless & some unnecessary) steel anchors.
Entfernt viele der festen Seile vor den schweren Regenfällen, die vorhergesagt werden. Bemerkte ein paar neue Bäume und (nicht rostfrei & einige unnötige) Stahlanker.

Derzeit ist von einer Begehung der Kronburg dringend abzuraten. Es gibt ungeklärte Probleme mit dem Kraftwerkbetreiber oberhalb der Schlucht. Diese Saison mussten bereits 2 Gruppen an unterschiedlichen Tagen wegen plötzlich ansteigenden Wasserpegels aus der Schlucht ausgeflogen werden.

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Kronburger Schlucht We started at the second entry, just before the footbridge. Very deep and narrow canyon. Lots of fun, smaller rappels quickly after one another, very little walking in between. The state of the anchors differs a lot between rappels. Some newer monopoints, some some new chains on older (but ok) bolt, some new bolts with old rusty chains, some old anchors that should be replaced. A lot of old hardware still in the walls. Canyon could use a good clean up. Relaxed descent in about 2.5h, can probably also be done in 1.5h. Very nice flow, enough to get a little wet, but nothing dangerous. This second part, with this flow, much easier than v5a5. Path next to canyon blocked by trees, accessible but probably easier to take the longer official path. Escape not found.

Hydrologie:
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.
