On the 11th of October 2026 we noticed that water level is good and the afternoon we entered the river at the lication near the Idrija. Unfortunately two fisherman shouted over us and pulled us out from the Idrijca river. A local ranger arrived because of the fisherman phone call and they explained us that this river is totally forbidden for kayaking from Idrija municipality. Actually there were no signs explaining that restriction. They told us that they are going to put signs for that restriction.

Yesterday, October 25th, we lost a red kayak in the Bunker gorge.
Exo T-Rex, red color, modified seat.
If somebody is able to recover it, we offer reward.
Please call +393387659585

Heute bei ca. 50m3 gepaddelt. Es hat in der mittleren Murg einige Bäume die aber alle gut sichtbar und umfahrbar waren. Das Wehr in Kirschbaumwasen ist ja weiterhin offen. Also müssen auf den Pegel aktuell 20m3 hinzu addiert werden.

July 2026, 13 m3.

Foto of the 2nd step at St. Jakob after the recent construction. Water pushed the the left now, room for fish on the right. 17m³/s.

Despite the warnings and the circumstances for that section I would sign, there's a new gauge that is direct on that section. Maybe someone is able to calibrate this section with the closeby gauge at https://egov.stmk.gv.at/at.gv.stmk.hydavis-p/pub/praesentation/index.xhtml?messcode=2002&ansichtstyp=karte&stationsstatus=ONLINE

Befahrung heute bei 4.2 m3/s. Die Stelle vor dem Schlitz, die normalerweise ganz links gefahren wird, sah ungemütlich aus wegen Steinen in der Landung (siehe Foto). Wir sind mittig auf dem Felsen wieder eingestiegen. Das Kehrwasser gleich danach (links vor dem Schlitz) war fast nicht vorhanden. Der Schlitz selber war aber gut fahrbar. Einige Bäume im Bach aber umfahrbar. Bei der Baustelle am Ausstieg ist die Durchfahrt aktuell frei, ist aber ein Fahrverbot.

At 85 m3/s the section took 1 hour to paddle.

Put-in below the Dam as shown on rivermap. There is access to the river downstream of the Garage between road and river.
Put-out 100m before the second of two identical bridges on riverleft.

At this discharge there are some big holes you want to avoid. But there is always a clean and obvious line around them. There are nice big wave trains. Eddies partly between the trees, so be careful when approaching the river banks. Outside of bends with dangerous trees, watch out.

WW II-III still holds at this discharge.

Pictures shown in downstream direction. Typical rapids.
There is one rapid in the lower half, that has three big holes and is alittle more tricky but still with an obvious line.

extended and definitely the last take-out before the gorge starts is at: 47.01300,12.39810 . Acessable only by feet.
