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 mother of all mines," the largest silver mine of the late Middle Ages, is located in Schwaz in Tyrol. Up to 10,000 miners searched for and found silver and copper here 500 years ago, turning the town of Schwaz into the largest mining metropolis in the world!

I didn't take a photo of the cave... But nearby, a tree stump showed us its "face"... what do you recognize in it: a bear, a ghost, a friendly greeting from the world of fairy tales...?

The path is a bit adventurous, but the scenery is unique - as we walked past, a chamois even appeared in front of the caves.

...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...

...also known as "God's Eye" - lies at 1220 m and is about 6 m long - with a short scramble (approx. UIAA II) through the cave, as well as a somewhat exposed climbing passage, you reach the rarely visited summit...

In the Middle Ages, Schwaz was the mining center of Europe. About 85% of the world's silver produced came from Schwaz, making the city the world's largest mining metropolis around 1500 and making Tyrol one of the richest countries in Europe. The great trading families became so influential that they used the Schwaz silver to dictate the politics of Europe and the discoveries of the new world. https://www.silberbergwerk.at/
