An enjoyable canyon, with a few scenic spots and nice rappels. Unfortunately no jumps :( Quite a lot of rubbish has accumulated in some spots, please take out with you what you can.

A pleasant surprise, ideal for rainy days. Anchors always present where needed, doubles only on the highest rappel. After the end of the main fording (520m) there is nothing more, it is worth going out as soon as possible.

Second ascent of the canyon, all anchors were still in order.

Small catchment area, dries quickly, good option for directly after the rain.

The available descriptions are based on personal experiences of different climbers and accordingly give a subjective impression of the conditions at a certain date in the past. The conditions can change significantly at any time due to, among other things, the weather (precipitation, snowmelt, ...) or possible events in alpine terrain (rockfalls, avalanches, ...). The described technical installations can also change radically due to natural events (floods, corrosion) or human intervention (vandalism, theft, ...).
