Access: machine translated ➜

We leave the highway No. 3 (Chur - Zurich) at the exit Sargans (No. 50) and drive in the direction of the center of the village, lastly on Wangserstraße.

Approach (45 min): machine translated ➜

From the bridge (465m a.s.l.) on the dirt road towards SW towards the single house, passing it on the left, we come to a mule track in the forest, follow it uphill for 150 (track) meters, then turn left onto a path that leads us further up the mountain. The path runs towards the Cholschlagerbach stream and we follow it up to the road to then get in above the road bridge.\nA transfer via the Plonser and Tilser road possible.

Tour (3 h): machine translated ➜

Varied, largely open, beautiful red sandstone, lots of downclimb. There are still two accessible parts further up, but also a water catchment. Many emergency exits. The water catchment to the Chapfensee swallows up to 1000 l/s. This amount of water can at any time into the stream at any time. The discharged water quantity can be seen at the kiosk Chapfensee. kiosk. Experience has shown that a water depth of approx. 8 cm at the measuring point is still justifiable. However, the definite decision to enter is at your own discretion. The EW Mels (Tel. 081 725 30 46) as power plant operator cannot give any information about upcoming flushing.

Return (10 min): machine translated ➜

After reaching the bottom of the valley, turn left and take the approach path (past the house) back to the car.

There is no alternative entry above the parking lot. It's just a mess in the wood and only makes the slide longer. Hook placement strange up to the parking lot. After that the stream is OK. Best at the end. Very slippery. Something for the list

Entry at ca.850Hm where the path leads to the stream after the meadow. The flow was strong, but still manageable. The short rappels are partly in the stream. All ring hooks are present and in good condition. Unfortunately it was quite slippery on this sandstone.

Hydrology: no translation available

https://www.hydrodaten.sg.ch/#3903 (Nachbarbach) Die Wasserfassung zum Chapfensee schluckt bis zu 1000 l/s. Diese Wassermenge kann jederzeit zusätzlich in den Bach gelangen. Die abgeleitete Wassermenge kann beim Kiosk Chapfensee eingesehen werden. Erfahrungsgemäss ist eine Wassertiefe von ca. 8 cm an der Messstelle noch vertretbar. Der definitive Entscheid einzusteigen liegt jedoch im eigenen Ermessen. Das EW Mels (Tel. 081 725 30 46) als Kraftwerksbetreiber kann keine Angaben zu bevorstehenden Spülungen machen.
