Beautiful root path to the summit of the Kühbergl, on which the monument to the Kaiserwarte is located.

Hiking
The Kaiserwarte is the historical name for an observation tower and the hill (Kühbergl) above Bruneck, which was named after the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I. Emperor Franz Joseph used the tower to observe artillery movements during military maneuvers in 1886, and even after the maneuvers, the tower served as a popular tourist destination for a long time. The original wooden tower was demolished in the 1950s due to damage and for safety reasons; a small stone column now stands in its place.
