Nature reserve Kaiserbach valley

The cozy hike along the wildly romantic Kaiserbach in the valley is of great landscape value all year round. Additionally, interesting information about animals, plants, and the environment itself is provided at the 7 stations of the Alpine Outdoor Gallery, along with tips for the proper interaction with nature.

KAISERBACHTAL - A crowning excursion in summer and winter

The Kaiserbach valley in the nature reserve of the Kaisergebirge extends from the Kirchdorf district of Griesenau to the Stripsenjoch, surrounded by the Wilden Kaiser to the east and the Feldberg and the Zahmer Kaiser area to the north. The entire nature reserve in the northern limestone Alps covers 9,260 hectares offering a unique flora and fauna.

The Kaiserbach valley serves as the starting point for countless summit ascents, challenging climbing, and winter ski tours in the Kaisergebirge. The ridge hike from Stripsenjoch over the Feldberg rewards with splendid views during the hiking season.

During the summer months, the Schnackler Erlebnisweg offers fun play stations for children, and the Latschenbrennerei Hofmann produces its high-quality larch pine oil here.

Summit names like Predigtstuhl, Fleischbank, or Totenkirchl testify that the Kaisergebirge can also pose dangers. The memorial chapel Kaiserbachtal (built in 1984) commemorates those who have lost their lives.

From Griesenau, a 5 km toll road leads to an altitude of 1,024 m, directly in front of the imposing mountain massif of the Wilden Kaiser. It also opens up the bizarre-romantic mountain world to visitors arriving by car or bus.
