The Kaiserbach Valley in the nature reserve Kaisergebirge extends from the Kirchdorf district of Griesenau to the Stripsenjoch, enclosed by the Wilder Kaiser in the east and the Feldberg and Zahmer Kaiser areas in the north. Covering 10,200 hectares, the entire nature reserve in the northern limestone Alps offers a unique flora and fauna.
For countless summit ascents, challenging climbing and skiing tours in the Kaisergebirge, the Kaiserbach Valley serves as the starting point. The ridge hike from Stripsenjoch over the Feldberg rewards with splendid views. The cozy hike along the wild romantic Kaiserbach in the valley is also of great scenic value – in summer and winter. Summit names like Predigtstuhl, Fleischbank, or Totenkirchl testify that the Kaisergebirge can also pose dangers. The memorial chapel Kaiserbachtal (built in 1984) commemorates the victims. From Griesenau, a 5 km toll road leads to an elevation of 1,024 m, directly in front of the imposing mountain mass of the Wilder Kaiser. It also offers visitors access to the bizarrely romantic mountain world when arriving by car or bus.

Instead of paying directly upon entry, the toll payment is made upon exit. A sign concept guides step by step through the process, and a screen at the exit informs at a glance whether the toll has already been paid.
The payment works in four steps:
1. Select vehicle number
2. Select toll rate
3. Pay
4. Print receipt or – to save paper – simply take a photo
Parking inside the entire valley is included in the toll fee. The fee is charged per entry into the valley and can still be paid via mobile up to 24 hours after entry. Payment at the ticket machine is possible in cash or by card. Additionally, entry is toll-free daily between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
