The Kaiserbach Valley in the Kaisergebirge Nature Reserve stretches from the Kirchdorf district of Griesenau to the Stripsenjoch, surrounded by the Wilder Kaiser to the east and the Feldberg and Zahmer Kaiser area to 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 ski tours in the Kaisergebirge, the Kaiserbach Valley is the starting point. The ridge hike from the Stripsenjoch over the Feldberg rewards with magnificent views. The leisurely hike along the wild romantic Kaiserbach in the valley is also very valuable in terms of scenery - in summer and winter. Names of peaks such as Predigtstuhl, Fleischbank, or Totenkirchl testify that the Kaisergebirge can also harbor dangers. The memorial chapel Kaiserbachtal (built in 1984) commemorates the victims. From Griesenau, a 5 km toll road leads to an altitude of 1024 m, directly in front of the impressive mountain massif of the Wilder Kaiser. It also provides access to the bizarrely romantic mountain world for visitors arriving by car or bus.

The payment process works in four steps:
1. Select vehicle registration number
2. Select toll rate
3. Pay
4. Print receipt or - to save paper - simply take a photo
Parking within the entire valley is included in the toll fee. The fee is charged per entry into the valley and can also be paid up to 24 hours after entry via mobile. Payment at the ticket machine can be made in cash or by card. Additionally, entry is toll-free daily between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
