The first part of the hike includes the descent on asphalt from Spitzsteinhaus and the access path to the demanding Musikantensteig - 18 kilometers. And then 800 meters of altitude await over not even six kilometers of distance. Reaching the Vorderkaiserfeldenhütte or the Ritzaualm, where a break can

From Aschau to Innerwald, it's a gentle warm-up. Afterwards, you head into the forest and - even if the path is wide - sometimes steeply uphill. At the Altkaseralm, the path branches off to the summit. On the descent, your joints will feel the upper section because the ground is stony and very varied

An excellent round, which can also be tackled spontaneously, because it is excellently connected to public transport - and this with a frequency of at least four times per hour. From the center of Troisdorf, the access path is only about half a kilometer. However, caution is advised with orientation

From Hattert station (request stop), the route initially heads constantly downhill. Once the Nister river has been crossed, you are on the Westerwaldsteig. Besides the Wied, this is THE river of the Westerwald and a constant companion on this hike. Before Limbach, several paths run parallel to each other

Definitely, stage #10 is one of the most beautiful on the Westerwaldsteig. And that, although it was not completely completed here. But this is how the hike is embedded between the train stations of Obererbach and Hattert.
From Marienthal Monastery, you gradually walk towards the end of the world or the

A lot of distance for "only" one stamp, because the dark green box for #46 blends in perfectly with the trees in a sharp right turn. Whoever misses it, however, has to turn back. Unfortunately, at the moment the path along the Bode is only partially passable and you are led back to the Kolonnenweg. At

A small hike through the tranquility of the Oberharz, which is at most "disturbed" by the whistling and snorting of the HSB. Those who plan cleverly can even use it for getting there and/or back.

Here you hike in the southernmost stamp point area of the HWN, which is noticeable by the very discreet signage. Therefore, it is better to take a look at the map material one too many times. The same applies to the transition from Sachsenstein to Gipsbrennofen, because walking through the spoil heap is not optimal.

After the first stamp station, one realizes that the forest, or what remains of it in the Harz National Park, is undergoing a transformation and it will likely take another 15-20 years before you can walk through shady trees again. As a result, the passage along the parallel path offers numerous views

Hike to the "Top of Niedersachsen" via Bratwurst. For the final ascent, from the exit of the former ski jump at the Wurmberg, there are three options - the wide path, the metal steps of the adjacent staircase directly along the jump or a serpentine path. At the summit, in good weather, there is a lively

Pleasant hike for hot days or when you want to take it easy. Two stamps, plenty of "lost" altitude meters and public transport connections. However, beware: connections from the Rinderstall are few and far between!

A morning glance down at the far-below Hintersee and a look back over the shoulder towards the Hochkalter begins the descent via Schärtenalm. Knees and joints notice how steep it has sometimes gone uphill. Reaching the SalzAlpenTour route pleases the strained leg regions - and also the senses. A beautiful

From the Zauberwald bus stop, take a loop around the Hintersee. Afterwards, your muscles will be warmed up and ready for the ascent. Initially, you stay on the SalzAlpenTour before heading up to the Schärtenalm. There, you can take a short break with a view down to Ramsau. Once you reach the steps, it

The path is consistently marked in blue, which is rather understated given some sections/path conditions/ascents or descents. Blue-Red would be - even if it doesn't exist - an appropriate classification. The view from the "Toten Mann" towards the Watzmann and Hochkalter can, on the other hand, be classified as premium.

One of - if not THE - advantage of the Kaisertalweg is that it allows you to enjoy the magnificent natural scenery between the Zahmer and Wilder Kaiser while hiking.
From Kufstein, you have excellent connections by bus and train for the journey home.
