Top 11 Caves レッテンシェスでの

The Kaisertal stretches eastwards from Kufstein in the Lower Inn Valley and separates the Wilder Kaiser in the south from the Zahmer Kaiser in the north.

Somewhat hidden between the Kaisertal valley and Kufstein's city mountain lies a cave, the Tischofer Cave. This moderately difficult hike covers approximately 250 meters of elevation gain on some narrow trails. You can take a circular hike from Kufstein, which takes about 1.5 hours, or you can combine the hike with the path to the Kaisertal valley, from where there's a branch. This is what we did: From Kufstein, we climbed the Kaiseraufstieg trail and, on the way back from our Kaisertal hike, we descended to the Tischofer Cave. Scientists have found the remains of 380 bears here. They lived in the cave above Kufstein. The cave, which is approximately 40 meters long, 20 meters wide at the entrance, and 8.5 meters high, was used by animals in the Stone Age, as excavated bone remains attest. Cave bear bones predominate, with 380 specimens, while foxes (12), ibex (9), wolves (6), reindeer (3), cave hyenas (2), and cave lions (1), chamois, and marmots (1) each are represented. Some animals were hunted by humans. The finds of tools from The cave can be reached on foot from the Kaiseraufstieg in the Kaisertal valley via a path secured with a wire railing. It is registered in the Tyrolean cave register under number 1312/001. Simply impressive

...very steep ascent, a head for heights and surefootedness are necessary - a short climbing passage (approx. UIAA II) and a 6m long rock gap (the so-called "Eye of God") as well as a somewhat airy climbing passage lead to the rarely visited summit...

Invites you to explore... not far from Laubensteingatterl

The cave is also a setting for science. Scientists took a closer look at the cave 400 years ago. It was found that humans left 37,000-year-old bone tips here that were processed. Skeletons of 380 bears that lived here in the cave were also found. If you want to know more about it, you can view the finds as exhibits at Kufstein Fortress. Take some time to marvel at the Tischofer Cave! There is also a bench in the sun in front of the cave. Good for a break. (https://www.kufstein-altstadt.com/tischofer-hoehle/)

No special skills required.

Super nice climb through a small cave and then from the back. Views of the Inn Valley, the water wall and the Samerberg are wonderful
