Low water rappel canyon

Access: machine translated ➜

From the A 3 freeway, take exit no. 45 (Weesen) at the western end of Lake Walen in a southerly direction via Oberurnen to Näfels (5 km from the freeway). At the western edge of the village take the Oberseestraße up the hill towards Obersee. The road passes after a little more than 3 km the Haslensee (no lake in the actual sense - rather a marshy clearing) and divides 1.4 km further at a small reservoir.\nHier turn right. If you have 2 cars at your disposal, park the first one 430 m after this turn at the roadside (here a path comes up to the road from below in northeastern direction).\nWith the other or the only car you turn right at the 3rd haipin bends(1,1 km after the reservoir) (actually you go straight on) and park 100 m further at the now following bridge.

Approach (5 min): machine translated ➜

Entry directly at the bridge, by rappeling from the railing.

Tour (1 h 30): machine translated ➜

8 rappel; usually with poor water flow, because above water drainage. About 1 km above the entry is a dam - after long rains, if necessary, consult the power station. It is possible to install a Rappel Guidé at the 2 water-filled pools in the middle section. Emergency exit almost always possible. cf. also: http://www.schlucht.ch/canyoning-touren-schweiz-2-2010/ostschweiz/bax/39-108-braendbach.html

Return (35 min): machine translated ➜

After the last rappel point (R 10) descend about 100 m over boulder terrain until a path crosses the stream.\nHere (if there is only one car at the entry) turn left (east) slightly downhill to the farmstead and from there on a hiking trail back up to the bridge.
