Short limestone slot in the Tennengau, four rappels and several slides, a regional Salzburg classic.

Wetsuit required, alpine water is cold. The Almbach has a public showcase section downstream (Almbachklamm gorge walk near Hallein); the canyoneering descent is the upper Strubklamm. Verify the lower exit is current before going.
