Summary: machine translated ➜

Watery rappel canyon that ends with a slide into Lake Lucerne. View-rich access from below. Can be climbed only after long periods of drought (no precipitation for about 4 weeks).

Access: machine translated ➜

We leave the A2 (Lucerne-Gotthard) at Lake Lucerne via exit 35 - Beckenried. We drive down to the lake and there we take the Rütenenstraße, which leads along the lake in eastern direction. Before the Ounkt, where it is no longer allowed to continue by car, we find parking spaces on the left hand side, where we can park our (possibly lower) car (P2).\n\nIf we have a second car available, we drive up to Emmeten and park the car there either after the Choltalbach bridge on the left at the chapel on P1a (only limited space) or in the village on the parking lot of the Niederbauen(rappel)bahn P1b.

Approach (5 min): machine translated ➜

From the parking lot at the lake in Rütenenstraße (without implementation - advantage of checking the water level in passing) up the footpath on the orographic. left slope. First on stairs, then horizontally towards the canyon and ann on the edge of the canyon up to the plateau. Arrived at the farmhouses we look for an access to the streambed (from orographic left).\n\nIf we have made a conversion, we climb into the stream at the road bridge.

Tour (4 h): machine translated ➜

About 20 rappel, but also slide and jump possibilities. Exit possibilities only in the first third. In the C20 there is an intermediate pool which should be avoided urgently at higher water levels. Alternatively rappel RG in the dry. Exit possibilities only in the upper part quite steep in the forest, in the lower area no exit possibilities.

Return (20 min): machine translated ➜

After the slide into the lake, turn right and follow the Rütenen road to the car.

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Choltalbach DC+. (Sûrement gros débit mais vu que le débit du canyon ne peut pas apparemment "pas être aussi bas") . Equipement ok. 4h à 4 nanas en y allant tranquille. Pour éviter la grotte prendre bien à gauche dans le rappel (relai RD) (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/22943/observations.html)

Automatisch importiert von Schlucht.ch für Canyon Choltalbach, Wasserstand: "Hoch" Verankerungen: "Verbesserungswürdig" Dachs im oberen Drittel. Im Wasser griffig zu gehen, ausserhalb rutschig. Wasserstand war sportlich. Ein Seilgeländer ersetzt. Sprünge weitgehend machbar, müssen aber zwingend ausgetaucht werden. An einigen Stellen instabiles Holz. Alles in allem lohnende Tour (Quelle: https://schlucht.ch/schluchten-der-schweiz-liste/1053-choltalbach)

Badger in the upper third. Easy to walk in the water, slippery outside. Water level was sporty. One rope traverse replaced. Jumps largely feasible, but must be dipped. Unstable wood in some places. Parking recommended at the top in the village, rather difficult directly at the entry. Please be considerate of the local fishermen.

The water level was ideal. Should not have much more, however, as the stream has very challenging rappels in some places. Hooks were all present. Water level comparison picture is attached. (taken at the entrance under the road bridge
