Zum Sägen am 25.4.2020 gepaddelt bei 8.5m3 erstaunlich "gut" zu paddeln, immer wieder Steinkontakt, aber alles geht gut. Würde auch ohne Säge bei dem Pegel einsteigen, wenn ich nicht auf Adrenalin aus bin. Sehr hübsch. Würde Minimum für befahrbarkeit sogar noch etwas tiefer ansetzen. Wobei, Pegel Ilanz ist typisch aus ca. 50/50 Valser/Glenner, kann aber auch mal asymmetrisch sein, insbesondere Schneeschmelze kommt mehr vom Glenner, dort sind keine Ableitungen.

Den Baum aus Beitrag #3671 haben wir heute raus. Der coole Boof ist somit wieder möglich :)

Baustelle Fadenbrücke

Es wird unterhalb der Fadenbrücke eine neue Brücke gebaut.
Situation ändert sich täglich.
Am besten vorher anschauen oder umtragen. Ausstieg möglich oberhalb der Fadenbrücke linke Fluss Seite.

the blocker mentioned in tore's guide is not there anymore. yet the following left-turn is leading steep along the wall and the right-turn before the end is now even more blocked and powerful.

in december 2018, there was a giant flood that destroyed the bridge at take-out. during repair, the 200m of the section (heading straight at the bridge) have been changed drastically. they are easier than before.

yet also other rapids in the section have changed. some need to be scouted before running cause the lines are different now.

the bomveg cost 60 NOK and can be payed with VISA card. it is located at Tunet, so you only have to pay once to get to the section, then you can run as often as you want

done in july 2019, level 17m3s and 16m3s, class III+(IV)

wonderful section of whitewater, blocked rapids with a slide or drop every 200m. the two bigger slides are quite challenging. the level was perfect for the first, more difficult half of the section. if level gets below 13m3s, the second half should be little bit too low.

getting out is easy everywhere.

done in july 2019, level grenseholen 29m3s, class IV-

for this section the level was perfect. the water is fast but everything was runnable and can be run on-sight. there are enough eddies, too.

parking at put-in cost 30 NOK.

done on july 2019, level 30m3s, class IV-(V)

after 500m you enter the gorge. at this level the river was still fast and very powerful at the rapids, and at the second rapid most water was pushing right into a wall. be careful here! maybe at higher levels this rapid will be easier, but for the whole gorge there definitely isnt more water needed.

after the gorge and the dam it gets easier. this part could handle a bit more water.

after the takeout to the coast there are more separated rapids (waves and holes) with flat water inbetween.

run in summer 2019, level was 45m3s, difficulty III+ (III-IV)

here the river is pretty wide and deep. 90% of this section es easy class II, but the rapids (waves and holes) get bigger and bigger each km. the rapid at the end was large enough to feel a bit disoriented!

Since 2017 there is a small dam after the gorge. It is easy to carry around and only destroys maybe 150m of the rapids. The dam is not there for electricity, it is for protection against the parasite. It is planned to be removed some day ...

The final rapid of this run, seen from the bridge at takeout. It looks way more impressive from the boat perspective!

The crux rapids as seen from the parking area above-

Character of this section at a low but runnable level.
