Approach (25 min):

Approach begins behind the creek sign. The moss, ferns, and other plants in this ecosystem are fragile - stick to the path.

Numerous jumps, slides, and short rapels. It is important to remeber to check jumps and slides before attempting.

Return (3 min):

Arrive back at the bridge where your tour began!

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, ...).
