How to get to Almbachklamm near Hallein, Austria — canyoning group at the meeting point with a map route line and pin (public transport or car).

⚠️ Quick heads-up: There are two places called “Almbachklamm”. And they are only a 20-minute drive apart. So it’s easy to get mixed up.

❌ NOT this: The Almbachklamm in Germany (Marktschellenberg): a gorge walk (no canyoning tours).

✅ YES, this: The Almbachklamm in Austria (near Hallein, by Wiestalstausee). It takes 10-15 minutes from Hallein to the canyon meeting point. Tour start times: 10am & 2pm.

Almbachklamm by public transport

1) Train: Salzburg → Hallein

Getting to Hallein by train is straightforward and usually the easiest part.

2) Hallein → Canyoning meeting point: Taxi/Uber (my honest recommendation)

From Hallein onwards, public transport becomes rare and a bit risky timing-wise. (During the week the only bus line is the 450. You can forget the weekend connection).  There is also no regular public bus that drops you perfectly right at the meeting point.

The tours start at 10:00 or 14:00. I genuinely wouldn’t want to bet the day on a tight bus connection.

Best option: take a taxi or Uber from Hallein. It’s not far at all (10-15 minutes). Especially if you’re 2–4 people. It often works out reasonably per person and keeps you flexible (also for the ride back).

3) Local alternative: Tennengau Shuttle

If you’re coming from Adnet, Krispl/Gaißau, Oberalm or Puch bei Hallein, the Tennengau Shuttle can be a practical alternative to a taxi.

4) Where exactly is the meeting point?

The meeting point is a carpark at Wiestalstausee. This is the start of the canyoning tour. There is no hike to it. The closest landmark is the Wiestal Dam (Wiestal Staumauer). From there, it’s roughly 300 metres to the meeting point.
