Canyoning Database

Welcome to OpenCanyon.org

A Canyoning Database is being created here as a successor to the databases on Cwiki and ACA.

We are not perfect yet, but we are actively updating and building. We are happy to receive feedback on the current state of the database. Please register via the menu in the top right-hand corner and you can get started right away.

There is currently a 🗺 Map, a canyon 🕮 List, canyons 📍 Nearby and the 🌞 Community / Help area.

We need help maintaining the raw data from Cwiki/ACA, updating the canyons and support with development (Laravel/Livewire/Filament/Alpine). Contact us via your existing canyoning network or directly via Slack or Contact Form.

11.04 Tirol Kronburger Tobel Jeroen Kirchner 4/5⭐ 💧

All ingredients are united for a new devastating flood/natural dam to build. To appreciate, one should do the top start (at the tunnel), notice the moving rocks and trees that have been cut and fallen/thrown into the river bed. If these rocks or trees are not there, it is best not to enter unprepared! Regarding the broken anchor: its location is in the flow, hence impossible to replace in a durable way. Let's try sth new. I've placed an abalakov/Sanduhr with 12mm drill in the most obvious location. When damaged or missing, it should be easier to replace than a broken bolt.

11.04 Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur Vallon de l'Imberguet Jo Haegeman 4/5⭐ 💧

Nice canyon with some narrow sections. Fun jumps and slides. Cold water. No sun in the canyon. Descent 2 hours with 5 people.

11.04 Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur Imberguet (Amont) Jo Haegeman 3/5⭐ 💧

Open woodsy canyon. Some shorter rappels and one 35m. All anchor points good condition but all not connected (except the 35m). Cold water.

11.04 محافظة جنوب الباطنة Seer Patrik Bartel 4/5⭐ 💧 machine translated ➜

Starts dry and has some pools further down, which are still quite clear. Wonderfully narrow canyon with beautiful tufa formations, a small grotto and a very nice ambience overall.

11.04 Salzburg Fischbach (Bluntautal) Tiefenbacher Markus 4/5⭐ 💧 machine translated ➜

Perfect weather & superiore canyons! Top water level and anchors. Fixed ropes at the bottleneck may need to be replaced. When rappeling after the narrow section, a cable car was built. Ascent 30min, descent 2h relaxed. A successful morning!

10.04 محافظة جنوب الباطنة Bald Sayt Patrik Bartel 2/5⭐ 💧 machine translated ➜

Short tour to shorten the day. Beautiful hiking gorge at the start, original finish. The pool at the exit can be avoided with skill orographic left.

10.04 محافظة جنوب الباطنة Bimah Patrik Bartel 3.5/5⭐ 💧 machine translated ➜

Mandatory jumps at the start. Still clear water despite the dry conditions. Pretty little canyon.

10.04 Toscana Marmitte dei Giganti Wido 3/5⭐ 💧 machine translated ➜

Marmitte dei Giganti Extinguisher of the Giants Very easy dry canyon in beautifully polished marble. The real difficulty lies in the ascent. The sloping slabs require safe climbing in grade II. There are enough anchors for the ascent. Even after rain, the canyon quickly runs out of water. However, the grass-covered rock in the ascent must be dry otherwise it will be tricky. Great equipment, ascent bolts not quite so great but they should be enough for the sloping slabs. From SP13, follow the orange markings from point 44.0615267N, 10.2879448E. Then climb after the yellow markings on the orographic left-hand side. Later, follow the markings again at the bottom of the gorge. After the "waterfall" 44.0660266N, 10.2841258E you can continue to follow the markings or start the descent with them.
