Grabenbach / Jabron: Canyon Start
2025-11-16: cvydvydfvsdfvdxfv
2025-08-28: It would make sense to separate the upper and lower part of this canyon (superiore & inferiore, obere & untere etc.). The upper part isn't bad, but the two small rappels, of which one is nice, and a s...
2025-08-15: We did the tour in pairs. Some places have to be downclimbed. There are anchors at the higher points. Very beautiful and varied canyon. Total time under 4 hours
Approach: Vom Parkplatz folgt man der Forststraße hinunter--> vor der Brücke kann am Holzmessstationshäuschen der Wasserpegel ablesen werden--> nach der Brücke immer der steilen Forststraße entlang--> vorbei an der Baggerabsturz- Gedenktafel --> bis zur Lichtung (Ebene) --> hier noch vor dem Hochstand re. in den Bach einsteigen (rote kleine Eisenbrücke am Einstieg!). Einstieg auch unmittelbar über dem "Doppler" möglich. dd
Tour: Nach der Brücke kommt gleich die erste Rutsche, die man auch abklettern und springen kann --> nach kurzer Gehstrecke folgt ein ca. 12m Abseiler in den ‘Dome’ --> nach dem ‘Dome’ folgt eine längere Gehpassage --> im oberen Teil der Schlucht befindet sich der bekannte Dopplerfall (ca. 2x15m Abseiler mit tiefen Gumpen) der bei hohen Wasserstand sehr gefährlich werden kann --> am Dopplerfall sind jedoch genügend Bohrhaken vorhanden um ein Seilbahnsystem aufbauen zu können (für Sprungprofis wäre nach Kontrolle der Tiefe der zweiten 15m Abseiler auch springbar) --> nach dieser Stelle folgen in der Schluchtenmitte mehrere rutschige Geh/Kletterpassagen und kleinere Abseilstufen --> im Idealfall gibt es auch mehrere Sprungstellen ( meist sehr rutschig) --> der Mittel- und Schlussteil nehmen wegen der abwechslungsreichen Stellen am meisten Zeit, Kraft und Konzentration in Anspruch -->am Schluss der Schlucht bis zur Einmündung in den Rettenbach gehen --> hier aussteigen. Die Tour ist mittlerweile gut eingebohrt sodaß man an vielen Stellen mehrere Möglichkeiten vorfindet. ee

Return: An der Stelle wo man auf den Rettenbach trifft am besten ca. 20 m am Ufer entlang stromauf gehen dann den Rettenbach queren. An der gegenüberliegenden Seite findet man einen zuerst unscheinbaren Pfad der in wenigen Minuten zur Forststraße führt. An der Forststraße angekommen ca. 100m re. bis zum Parkplatz zurück gehen. ff

Approach: Directly at the parking lot you can descend orographic left in the forest and enter the gorge below the dam wall via an aluminum ladder.
Tour: The Almbach gorge is ideal for beginners, young people or larger groups --> the dam wall makes the gorge relatively safe even when there is a lot of water (rain) --> it carries water all year round, but in varying quantities, therefore: Be careful with high jumps --> There are many possible jumps --> Shorter swimming sections always bring refreshment --> In the middle part of the tour you pass a large rock (right), which resembles a face ("the Face" climbing up and jumping only for experienced climbers and after checking the water depth) followed by the "Jump Temple", various jumps with 5/8/10m (or slide and diving cave). After two slides (jumping points) you come to a narrow section that you swim through --> After a small jump into deep pools comes the last descent point (iron bars), then it goes about 100m over conglomerate rock to a larger water basin. At the exit of the water basin, a steep path leads up to the road on the left. Unfortunately, there have always been problems with the private owner in the past, so it is recommended to walk to the power station and get off on the left (transfer car or bicycle necessary as pedestrians are prohibited!). The commercial providers now turn around before the second slide and walk back down the entire canyon on the right side via the "jump temple" (rope-insured) and get out again at the entry. Therefore, expect oncoming traffic in the canyon.

Access: Coming from Hallein, take the Wiestal highway to the large dam parking lot on the left side (parking lot in front of the dam wall crossing).
Return: On the main road you get shortly back to the parking lot (Attention: only with a bike or shuttle car allowed!) --> Another option would be after the small slide, the way right up u. in the canyon back to go.

Altersbach: Canyon Start
2025-06-30: Stands all in order. Some slightly bent hooks but nothing serious. Now super grippy although every pool is completely blocked.
2025-06-27: Canyon has only been provisionally rehabilitated by me after extreme flooding. Partly only one bolt as a stand - not recommended for guiding or groups! The canyon is practically wood-free, very much g...
2025-04-27: Great canyon. Some of the stands/drill hooks are a little loose, but all in all it's still passable without any problems. There is a lot of wood in the water, especially in the lower section.
Comment: (cwiki_1)
Approach: approx. 50min From the parking lot, follow the hiking trail signposted Eisenau --> you will soon reach the final abseil (check water level) --> continue uphill and cross the stream after approx. 15min (exit/entry point) --> continue uphill here, past the water fountain and a wooden hut to reach the forest road with a fork --> follow the forest road to the right --> at the point where the forest road makes a slight left bend, leave it to the right and continue downhill along the inconspicuous forest path to the stream.
Tour: approx. 3h After a short stretch in the streambed comes a dilapidated wooden bridge --> then follows a short narrow section with small washouts --> after a short stretch with downclimb passages the canyon opens -->here you have a beautiful view of Lake Mondsee --> over well placed belays it goes over 3. downclimbs from 5m to 20m to the first large 50m waterfall -->to get to the exposed belay on the right should be built for safety's sake a removable rope traverse!> The 50m abseil is only up to the sharp edge in the water, after that you are in the overhang--> Alternatively you can abseil to the left outside the waterfall (intermediate level after approx.20m+30m) --> after the beautiful 50m-waterfall the next steps on the left can be bypassed --> after that there are short rappels which are mostly bypassed --> after further short mostly unproblematic rappels one crosses the hiking trail which one went up before (exit possibility) --> after the hiking trail there are five approx. 20m rappelling routes which follow each other shortly (downclimbing not advisable because mostly very slippery) --> to get to the exposed and mostly very slippery belaystation of the 50m final waterfall a removable rope traverse should be installed again --> the rappelling route looks from above mostly more spectacular than it is, because at the beginning of the rappelling routes you are again briefly in the water flow. (Alternatively, this abseil point can also be divided approx. 20m+30m).

Access: approx. 15min From Mondsee take the main road (Romantikstraße) in the direction of St. Gilgen. After the village of Scharfling, turn left towards Unterach. After the tunnel, there is limited parking on the right next to the road or gravel parking in the forest.
Return: approx. 10min At the bottom follow the trail on the left back to the parking lot.

Jaglingbach: Canyon Start
Approach: After the houses turn left and follow the path orthogr. right uphill. After a few bends - in a sharp left bend (from the right comes the later exit path up). After the sharp left turn, a path branches off immediately to the right, steeply uphill. Follow this rather arduous (2022 complicated speziel further up much fallen trees the access). Follow the path for about 15 minutes until it flattens out and you reach the stream (about 35 minutes). Old description / whole tour: Follow the forest road past the barrier briefly -->you go over the small bridge that leads over the Jaglingbach (water level control) --> at the sign ('Gamskogel and Mitteralm') follow the marked path past the small alp --> after the last wooden house right steeply up through the forest --> this path is the shortcut to the forest road which you cross several times --> after about 1h you are at approx.1200m at the fork in the forest road --> follow the forest road on the left downhill to the stream with a small crossing (flow-through pipe) --> entry at approx.1140m.
Tour: In 2022, the canyon was well established from access lower part and quite worthwhile. Rather in the spring or after rain make . (about 2h) Old description >whole canyon : Arrived at the entry, the water runs mostly underground --> you walk in the dry streambed about 100m --> then comes a beautiful by the glacier and water formed rock cart plate which you descend about 50m --> follow kl. Pools (can be bypassed on the right) --> downclimb another 30m --> flat walking passages in the streambed about 200m to the old hermitage (wooden beams) --> from here it becomes slippery --> several short climbing and walking passages --> in the upper part of the canyon there are many small steps that descend over trees slippery steps that can be rappelled over trees or bypassed in the forest --> the pools do not necessarily invite to jump --> several logs make it difficult to progress quickly --> in the middle of the gorge comes the most interesting part of the tour --> R14 (le.) over glued anchors --> slippery walking and climbing passages --> inflow from the right --> downclimb and walk --> nice washouts --> it goes past an old bridge to the highest downclimb C28 (left) (divisible C15 left + C15 right) --> big rock slab (left) downclimb about 30m or C26 (right) through narrow passage! --> downclimb left to R14 (left) --> downclimb --> R18 (left) (R14 u.R18 in overhang) --> C20 (left) --> walk and climb down (slides?) --> in the lower part of the tour there is a nice narrow water gully/rock cart slab with an abseil C20 (right) --> after the inflow of (left) walk about 500m and climb down until shortly before the bridge (exit 660Hm).

Jaglingbach: Parking Entry and Exit
Access: Freeway to Mondsee ---> Bundesstraße r. Bad Ischl --> through tunnel --> 2nd exit r. Bad Goisern --> straight on to the first exit (Rettenbachtal) --> after the traffic circle follow the signs Rettenbachalm --> after the bridge (Rettenbach), mountain road up --> first on asphalt road then on the gravel road to the barrier in front of the alp (approx. 636Hm) --> parking in front of the barrier.
Return: After the water gully/rock cart plate you can exit to the right return to the entry trail or continue less rewardingly Old description: Before the bridge on the left out of the stream --> past the huts down to the forest road --> on the forest road on the right back to the parking lot.
