ヘッヒト湖周辺のおすすめ犬連れハイキング＆ウォーキング

A dream! A bit crowded here with loud and overweight walkers, but otherwise absolutely top-notch.

a beautiful little stream between the lakes

Big fish, but not pike, rather perch!

Always a wonderful experience. Especially in autumn with its beautiful colors.

Today's Sachs Bridge consists of two steel bridge sections that were placed on reinforced foundations by helicopter in 2019 to better protect and stabilize the bridge against weather and flood damage. Walking across the bridge offers impressive views of the dam and the small lake dammed above it, as well as back into the depths of the gorge with its rushing water and steep rock faces – a truly special experience on a hike through the Gießenbach Gorge.

The alpine pasture offers a welcoming place to stop for refreshments and rustic Bavarian cuisine: Snacks, homemade cakes, bacon, and schnapps made on-site are among the specialties. The petting zoo, playground, and Bobby Car downhill track are particularly appealing to families. The location and views create a wonderful atmosphere: The alpine pasture is situated at an altitude of approximately 600 meters, surrounded by alpine meadows and forest, with a beautiful view of the Inn Valley and the surrounding natural landscape.

The Wachtl quarry is located on the border between Tyrol and Bavaria, not far from Thiersee and Kiefersfelden. Since the 19th century, limestone and marl have been mined here, serving as raw materials for the Kiefersfelden cement plant. The narrow-gauge Wachtl Railway transported the rocks directly from the quarry down into the valley – a technical and industrial landmark of the region. The quarry is located on the northern edge of the Thiersee Basin and impressively showcases the geological structures of the Alps, with steep limestone cliffs and visible stratification. Today, industrial operations have largely ceased; parts of the quarry have been abandoned and filled with water, forming a small lake. Nature is slowly beginning to reclaim the area: habitats for plants, amphibians, and birds are emerging between the rocks, scree, and old mining areas. Nevertheless, the site remains an impressive testament to past industrial history – a place where the power of nature and the traces of human labor intersect in a fascinating way.

The Thierberg Castle ruins lie above Kufstein in Tyrol at an altitude of approximately 721 meters and are among the oldest castles in the region. They were built around 1280 by the Lords of Freundsberg as a small hilltop fortress to secure the Inn Valley. Over the centuries, the castle changed hands several times – among other things, it belonged to Bavaria for a time before falling to Tyrol in 1504. The striking keep has been preserved to this day and offers impressive panoramic views of Kufstein, the Inn Valley, and the Kaiser Mountains. Within the old walls lies the Thierberg Chapel, a popular pilgrimage site with numerous votive images and a quiet, spiritual atmosphere. A hermit traditionally lives next to the chapel to look after the site. Today, the Thierberg Castle ruins are a historic tourist destination that combines history, nature, and faith in a unique way.
