Summary: machine translated ➜

Comfortable hiking canyon where rappeling is not mandatory. So if you only have a thin wetsuit and have nothing to do with rope technique, you can get a taste of the canyoning feeling.

Access: machine translated ➜

From Bad Ischl take the main road in the direction of Salzburg. At the lake Wolfgangsee turn left to Abersee. After about 600m you cross the Zinkenbach and about 100m after that a small side road branches off. Follow this road to the beginning of a forest road and park here.

Approach (40 min): machine translated ➜

The above forest road follows the Zinkenbach stream constantly on the orographic right side. At km 4.1 it crosses it over a large bridge with a weir. Here you descend into the stream.

Tour (2 h): machine translated ➜

Untroubled you follow the watercourse, partly swimming but mostly hiking. A 5m waterfall can be bypassed on the left, but also a spit is set up on the right side for rappel.
