バート・ヘーリングの峡谷・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

💡 The Kundler Gorge is not only scenically impressive, but also offers a pleasant route for cyclists. Start early in the morning to enjoy the peace of nature and avoid the crowds of tourists. Make sure to bring a waterproof jacket, as it can be cool and damp in the gorge. 🚴‍♂️🌊🇦🇹

A beautiful gorge, but you are not allowed to cycle through it. Pushing is possible, though

The Kundler Gorge is one of the most beautiful natural gorges in Austria and at the same time the shortest connection between the Wildschönau and the Tyrolean Inn Valley. The Wildschönauer Ache makes its way through the gorge. 200 meter high and steep rock walls are impressive. The flowing water and steep rocks are a real nature experience!

Typical wooden alpine bridge at the beginning (or end) of the Kundler Gorge.

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!
