Top 5 Caves ゲマインデファスでの

Once you reach the grotto, you'll have a magnificent view. You'll need a head for heights and surefootedness. A thrill guaranteed.

A great tub for an (ice) bath. But only when there isn't extreme snow melt.

There is a first small cave right next to the waterfall. With a little climbing over the waterfall,. there is at least one other cave. A nice little trip. The waterfall itself is very beautiful, you can almost shower and bathe underneath it. 😉

If you climb a little below, you can still see the natural tunnel in the rock through which the water runs at the beautiful course of the stream!

The path is secured, but just before the grotto there are one or two places where the path has suffered somewhat. Sure-footedness is required, especially on the descent, as part of the way is quite rocky.

The path from Zirl is well secured, the warning signs are a bit exaggerated. The grotto is beautiful, the view also nice, the way over the quarry rather annoying and certainly not to be recommended in the full sun.

It was in 1484 when the Emperor Maximillian, who is still very popular in Tyrol today, got off his feet while hunting in the Martinswand and could neither go back nor forward. His refuge was a grotto from which he was rescued after 2 days by a young farm boy. The boy disappeared after the emperor was rescued and so it did not take long until it was said that Maximillian had been found by an angel and brought back to the valley in good health. In addition, it is said that Maximillian is said to have pleaded "if only kematen" in fearful expectation of help, which is supposed to be the reason why the neighboring town of Zirl is named Kematen today. These legends are still told today. In any case, as a thank you for the happy end of his hunting trip, the emperor had a cross erected in the cave known since then as the Maximilliansgrotte. https://www.tirol-infos.at/innsbruck/kaiser-max-grotte.html

Better to take a helmet with you if you only hike to the god.
