Okay as a walker. Very beautiful landscape. However, the Kaiserweg is shared with mountain bikers and sometimes even with cars! Rather too undemanding for an experienced hiker. Open your eyes, there are beautiful hidden forest paths and old logging roads that can be hiked.

Between Hohenberg an der Eger and Selb, the Eger finds its way through a valley worth seeing. This section of the Eger is as important in terms of natural and mining history as it is ecologically, and was designated as a nature reserve in 1989. At the end of the 17th century, the “Wellerhammer”, the largest iron smelting works far and wide, was built near Wellerthal. Three hydroelectric power plants have been supplying electricity since the beginning of the 20th century.

The Eger flows through the Marktleuthen-Selber granite massif between Kaiserhammer and Hohenberg an der Eger. In many imposing groups of rocks, the rock appears again and again near the banks of the Eger and on the shore path.
