シュヴォイヒの峡谷・トップ16

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 romantic gorge. Ascent is not difficult. The Glemmbach has to be crossed on foot 9 times as there are no bridges. Therefore, be sure to bring a second pair of shoes to change into.

If you like something adventurous, this is the place for you! Sticks are highly recommended when crossing the creek, so you can save yourself the hassle of taking off and putting on your shoes in some places. However, you should not be squeamish, wet feet are definitely unavoidable. Basically a recommendable, little frequented gorge hike!

Nice way. The steps up require either a lot of time or sufficient physical condition 😉

Hats off to performance

Below the thundering gorge, above the turquoise, dammed Gießenbach water. Great.
