Through the Kaisertal to the Anton-Karg-Haus (Hinterbärenbad)

The tour begins at the entrance to the Kaisertal, which you reach via approximately 280 steps. Until 2008, this valley was only connected to civilization by these steps. Since then, a tunnel for residents has made supplying the valley easier. Shortly after climbing the steps, you’ll catch your first glimpse of the wild, rugged massif of the Kaiser Mountains.

After passing the Veitenhof inn, the steepest section is behind you. You continue on the gravel-paved main trail into the valley, passing Pfandlhof and several mountain farms. The popular photo spot, Antonius Chapel, is visible from a distance. It draws attention both to itself and to the alpine mountain massif in the background.

Just after the chapel, the path changes into a forest trail that leads down to the Kaiserbach stream, which you see here for the first time since the start. The lively stream winds its way to the Anton-Karg-Haus, also known as Hinterbärenbad. The trail follows the stream all the way to the destination, where you can take a break.

To return, simply follow the same path back out of the valley to the starting point at the "Kaiseraufstieg."
