At
river Inn
in Switzerland rarely 20 miles away from the austrian border
is in my eyes the finest part of the Inn. The difficult
sectors in the Giarsun-canon came shortly one after the
nother stealing your breath by the beauty of this nature.
The DKV-Kanuguide about this part of
the river:
mile71,8-76,3 (Giarsun-canon) WW III-IV
Giarsun-canon! Total lonely rocky canon
with partly heavy narrow passages, vertical steps and
speedy waves, 2 parts sould be explored by eyes first.
At the beginning no heavy duties, from time to time the difficulties
expand.
72,9 right hand a brook runns in. Beginning
of the canon. First heavy step (Preußen-Schleuder) visible from
the left bank to the middle of the river higher is a
big plate of rock. S-corner, narrow fall, WW IV+, hardest
part of this canon.
Following
some long lasting, rocky
waves. After giant single rock, who pikes in the river
from the right side. You have to see the following
double step WW IV+ bevor driving it. Mostly you could
do it on the left.
75,8 left massive wall on the bank, short
after that get out of the river on the right and see
the last vertical zone. Trees may blocking the way which
must be avoided.
76,3 bridge of Ardez, befor reaching it
end your trip on the right side of the river.
The
Ardez-canon WW V-VI is the next part of the Inn. Most
difficult parts and often there are trees in the river!
Alpine climbing equipment is nessacary! Complicate
climbing at the undriveable passages with boats
on the rope makes this part extrem hard!
I see some foolly groups diving in there. |
