Untertalbachklamm
- Start: bridge on Untertalbach
- End: bridge on Untertalbach in Untertal, close to the gauge (gauge on the left river bank)
- Length: 2 km
- Time: 30 min - few hours
- Gradient: 50 ‰
- Difficulty: WW V
Warning: possible trees in the river
This part is so-called Wasserfallstrecke, with a big gradient i lots of dropa and slides (mostly till 2-3 m, but the highest one 8 m). You can scout whole part along the left bank, but not everywhere there is a good access to the river.
Detailed description
- After starting bridge horseshoe - a drop in the horseshoe shape. I begins with a slide with a big towback.
You should paddle very fast through tongues (best way left side). Possible assurance on right river bank.
Untertalbachklamm - Stopper after Horseshoe - LW
- After ca. 100 m after the horseshoe, the canyon begins,
- Afterwards big rock in the middle of the river, water flows right and left side, huge gradient after it. Paddle left side (on the right side there is an undercut).
- After ca. 100m there is a highest waterfall (ca. 8 m), vertical. You can scout it from the right bank (from the left bank there is a problem with access to the river). Best way to go is the left side. There should not be a towback under the waterfall, but you should rather boof.
- Afterwards there is an eddy and a slide
Untertalbachklamm - Slide after Waterfall - LW
- Then a narrow "S" (before it a bigeddy on the left) and a left turn. On the end a sloping stopper, which you are to boof from left to right (on the left there is an undercut),
- After ca. 100 m canyon opens, then you can see a wooden bridge, you should stop before (eddy in the right) and scout following Mühlerutsche cataract - a high, irregular slide. On the right bank old mill. The cataract looks worse that it really is. You can paddle left (easier one) or centre - there is a big rock that ... mocno wybija w górę, but you should watch out for undercut and a stopper,
- After a few hundred meters big eddy on the right and Silberkatarakt begins - most difficult and quiet dangerous place, a long one (ca. 150 m). It begins with some kind of slide on the plate, on both river sides there are undercuts, that a stopper - you can protect from the left, but it is difficult to reach the river there. Afterwards the current splits into two branches - on the left side there is a plate (paddleable), but the most of the water goes right, to a harder branch. At the end a stopper and two "S".
- Last place is a sloping drop, on the left side is an undercut. Better do not paddle with too low water.
