Waterflow
Introduction[edit]
Alpine canyon with some subterranean sections and natural arches.
Approach[edit]
Get to Furi with the gondola, and start walking towards Hermetje. Soon you'll need to cross the Schwarzsee Skilift, after which you will enter the Furgg valley.
Descent[edit]
The canyon gradually increases in commitment. While the first waterfalls (about 200m higher up) are still relatively open, the following section is already in a narrow canyon, and at the end you'll go through tunnels.
Exit[edit]
The exit ist just before the start of Gornera I. So take the path you would take for the approach of Gornera.

Background[edit]
There is a water capture above the canyon, so avoid going in there on hot days. Bringing a drill and anchors with you, definitely isn't a bad idea.
