Start in Going, Hüttling (840 m). Forest track 817 leads over Graspoint Niederalm and onto the Wilder-Kaiser-Steig path 827 as far as Obere Regalm (1,313 m) over alpine pastures and up to Brennender Palven (1,572 m). The climb up is rewarded with stunning panoramic views, this is where the famous Bergsteigergrab is – the grave of the famous local mountain climber known as „Koasamuch“. The path 824 then drops down to the west and to the Gaudeamushütte (1,263 m) where the Leichtfried family tempt you with their delicious homemade desserts. Weary legs can have a respite and relax here at the first overnight stop, otherwise the hike continues along the trail 824/813 towards the Gruttenhütte (approx 1 – 1 ½ hours) via the Klamml gorge. The narrow trail through the steep gorge is secured with a ladder and iron clamps (be careful of falling rocks from hikers ahead on the via ferrata). After several bends, you reach the Gruttenhütte (1,620 m) with a lovely sun terrace and view over the Ellmauer Halt (2,344 m). Enjoy the amazing view as far as the Grossvenediger while indoors, pork is roasting in the wood stove. The Kaiserkrone Up close to the Kaiser – by the Regalm Tip for mountain adventurers: The Klamml Klettersteig (via ferrata) for those experienced on fixed rope routes. The bottom section is graded B/C and the upper section has parts, that are graded D and a spectacular 12 m long two rope adrenalin pumping bridge in the middle (only to be climbed with helmet, climbing harness and via ferrata set) Bergsteigergrab Gruttenhütte Graspoint Niederalm Going, Hüttling 0 1 2000 m 1800 m Gaudeamushütte 1600 m Obere Regalm 1400 m 1200 m 1000 m 800 m 600 m 2 3 4 5 6 www.wilderkaiser.info Gruttenhütte 8 km 9 2 l Kaiserkrone Stage 2 Gruttenhütte → Kaiser-Hochalm → Steiner Hochalm → Seeweg → Lake Hintersteiner See (West bank) l Medium !13.5 km ˙550 metres ˜1,250 metres *1,620 m highest point `6 hours •Gruttenhütte Inns along the way: Steiner Hochalm T: +43 (0) 664 1757986 (drinks only) Gasthof Bärnstatt U T: +43 (0) 5358 8113 www.baernstatt.at N Dogs allowed Bauernhof Beinstingl U T: +43 (0) 5358 8394 beinstingl@gmail.com N No dogs allowed Café Restaurant Seestüberl U T: +43 (0) 5358 8191 florian.waltl@aon.at www.seestueberl.info N No dogs allowed Pension Maier U T: +43 (0) 5358 8203 www.pension-maier.at N Dogs allowed Pension Hagenhof U T: +43 (0) 5358 8204 www.hagenhof.com N Dogs allowed Bauernhof Goingstätt U T: +43 (0) 5358 8202 www.hintersteinersee.at N No dogs allowed 10 Harp playing, fresh buttermilk and cool refreshment for tired feet!

Enjoy the fantastic views as you walk through fragrant mountain pines and wooded slopes below the Kaiser peaks of Treffauer and Tuxeck. The wildly romantic Kaiser-Hochalm (not tended) is an ideal photo stop. Continue along the WKS 821/823 to the Steiner Hochalm (1,257 m), where the innkeepers Maridi and Peter serve drinks (no food) accompanied by spontaneous harp playing and singing. The next stage of the journey continues down the high path 821 towards Bärnstatt to the chapel St. Leonhard Kapelle. There are two overnight possibilities for the leisurely hiker (Gasthof Bärnstatt and Bauernhof Beinstingl) or you can follow the road along to the Café Restaurant Seestüberl on the east bank of lake Hinstersteiner See. Other welcoming beds at the end of stage 2 (Pension Maier, Pension Hagenhof or Bauernhof Goingstätt) you will find on the west bank of the crystal clear mountain lake – just follow the idyllic path 822 around the lake. Lake Hintersteiner See Wilder-Kaiser-Steig Steiner Hochalm Gruttenhütte 0 1 The Kaiserkrone Cool tip for hot days: Lake Hintersteiner See. The turquoise crystal clear mountain lake offers a welcome cooling dip for tired feet. The lake is fed from an underground spring producing high quality water, what enables a 10 metre underwater visibility.

The path takes you across grassy meadows to the cosy Kaindlhütte (1,293 m) on the idyllic high plateau of Steinbergalm.

Path 827 leads eastwards to the Bettlersteig – Beggars track – which snakes steeply down, mostly in steps and over 8 dips with a section secured with cable and three iron clamps, into the Kaisertal valley and the Anton-Karg-Haus (829 m). This hut nestels picturesquely in a basin above the Hörfarter chapel. Continue along the footpath 96/901 to the Hans-Berger-Haus (936 m) with its mountaineering library and Silvias’ (innkeeper) organic cooking. Then path 801 becomes quite steep compelling attraction as you go past clumps of dwarf pines up to Stripsenjochhaus (1,577 m). The view of hundred metre high rock walls from the saddle at the foot of the Totenkirchl and Fleischbank, is an overwhelming one. The Kaiserkrone Kaindlhütte Anton-Karg-Haus Tip for mountain adventurers: Crossing the Ellmauer Tor.

Further along the ridge, past the „Frankenländer Nadel“ you reach the Feldberg (1,813 m), with a stunning view of the Ellmauer Tor. Carry on to the Obere Scheibenbichlalm and take the forest track 76, with some shortcuts, down into the Kaiserbachtal valley.

Orientation, degree of difficulty and hiking with a guide. How to find the path? The Kaiserkrone route is signposted with special stickers (a white crown on a blue background). Kaiserkrone You can find the GPS-Tracks on the internet: maps.wilderkaiser.info Who is the Kaiserkrone suitable for? Hiking paths are basically divided into three classifications: Hiking paths (easy), Mountain paths (medium to difficult) and Alpine Routes (very difficult). All stages of the Kaiserkrone are of tours of medium difficulty (red mountain path) Definition according to the hiking and mountain path concept of Tirol province: 20 „Mountain paths of medium difficulty (red) are often narrow and steep and can be exposed in parts. They can include secured sections where it is advantageous to use the hands for additional support. These paths should only be attempted by sure-footed, hardy hikers who have alpine experience and are suitably equipped for the mountainous terrain. The appropriate signs are coloured yellow and indicate the difficulty with a red dot.“ Route planning The Kaiserkrone with a Guide? You haven´t much experience of long distance hikes and would like some extra security on the route around the Wilder Kaiser massif? Then complete the Kaiserkrone with a certified mountain or walking guide from the region. As well as the additional safety in every situation, you will be spoiled with many fascinating tales about the areas and people along the way. Free from the organisation and difficult decision making you can concentrate on the beauty of the tour. Arriving by train The best starting point for train travellers is Kufstein. It is about half an hour from Kufstein station to the bottom station of the Kufstein Kaiserlift. The new one man chair lift takes you quickly up to Brentenjoch, then it is an hour’s walk to the Kaindlhütte which is on stage 3 of the Kaiserkrone. The first night is spent at the Stripsenjochhaus and five days later the Kaiserlift can be used again to get back down to Kufstein. www.wilderkaiser.info Attention passionate hikers: It is particularly worthwhile to use the services of a certified mountain guide for difficult alternative routes, climbing summits and tackling the via ferrata.

When you are hiking you feel the effect of the weather a lot more than you do down in the valley. Good planning and adhering to important codes of conduct in the mountains greatly increase your safety. For a safe hike around the Kaiserkrone please follow the Austrian Alpine Association’s 10 recommendations for safe hiking in the mountains Correct conduct in the mountains 1. Health in the mountains: Mountain hiking is an endurance sport. Good health and a realistic evaluation of your own condition are preconditions for the activity to have a positive effect on the heart and circulation. Avoid time pressure and go at a speed that none of group gets out of breath 2. Careful planning: You can get information about length, height difference, difficulty and current conditions from walking maps, guide books, internet and experts. Always make sure the tour is suited to the group. Pay particular attention to the weather forecast as rain, wind and cold can increase the chance of accidents. 3. Adequate equipment: Make sure your equipment is suited to your venture and keep the weight of your rucksack down. Protection against rain, cold and sun should always be in your rucksack as should a first aid kit and mobile phone (European emergency number 112). Map or GPS facilitate orientation. 4. Suitable footwear: Good walking boots protect the foot, are comfortable and help towards being surefooted. When choosing walking boots make sure they fit well, have a slip resistant treaded sole, are waterproof and lightweight. 5. Being surefooted is the key: Falls as a result of slipping or stumbling are the most common cause of accidents. Take into account that going too fast and tiredness have a big effect on your sureness of foot and concentration. Beware of falling rocks: by walking mindfully, you can avoid kicking off loose stones. 24 Route planning 6. Stay on marked paths: The risk of losing your orientation, falling and rock fall increases in unmarked terrain. Avoid shortcuts and if you stray off the path return to the last known point. Steep patches of snow which have been lying for some time are often underestimated and dangerous. 7. Regular breaks: Timely breaks are good for respite, appreciating the countryside and socialising. You need to eat and drink to maintain energy levels and concentration. Isotonic drinks are ideal thirst quenchers and muesli bars, dried fruit and biscuits stave off the hunger pangs. 8. Responsibility for children: The most important thing for children is variety and a playful approach. In sections where there is a risk of falling, one adult can only watch over one child. Very exposed tours that need long periods of concentration are not suitable for children. 9. Small groups: Small groups are good for flexibility and enable mutual assistance. Make sure you let a trusted person know your planned destination, route and return, keep together in the group. Solo hikers should beware that even small incidents can lead to serious distress situations. 10.Respect for nature: To protect nature in the mountains: Don’t leave litter, avoid noise, stay on the marked paths, do not disturb wild or grazing animals. Do not disturb plant and respect protection areas. On arrival use public transport or car share. www.wilderkaiser.info 25 Do I need insurance? What to do in an emergency? Planning, self-evaluation and provisions are the most important factors for safety in the mountains. Again and again hikers are suddenly left asking themselves „what now?“ when an unexpected storm comes on or slight accident happened. Mountain operations and rescues are not free of charge. Arranging mountain rescue insurance in advance (eg. Europäische Reiseversicherung, or as member of the Alpine Association, ÖAMTC or ADAC) means, that the rescue costs up to a certain limit will be paid by the insurance. Beware: regular health insurance does not pay for rescue from alpine distress. Emergency call: 140: The number for the Tirolean mountain rescue is 140 (no dialing code) Reporting an accident: 1. Where has it happened? 2. What has happened? 3. How many people injured? 4. What injuries? 5. Who is reporting the accident? Don’t hang up until told to do so! No reception? 1. If you have an emergency but no signal, turn your phone off and back on again. Instead of the PIN number enter the European emergency number 112. This number works with every network provider free of charge (even without roaming) 2. If this doesn’t work, find a better more exposed point and keep dialing 112 3. Make your presence known by calling, banging or light signals, every 10 seconds for a minute then pause for a minute etc. Tirolean Mountain Rescue emergency app If you have a smart phone, download the Tirolean Mountain Rescue App before you set off on your tour. It helps when sending an emergency call and automatically notifies your position. You can download the Tirol Mountain Rescue Emergency App free here. 26 Frankenländer Nadel Route planning www.wilderkaiser.info 27 POWERWOOL Collecting stamps online.

Route planning www.wilderkaiser.info 29 The Eagle Walk “Adlerweg” The outline of the tirolean long distance hiking route symbolises the wings of an eagle, as the name suggests. St. James way “Jakobsweg” A pilgrimage is a holiday for the body, soul and spirit and a path to oneself. The Jakobsweg leads through the Kaiser villages along the valley. The eagle, symbol of freedom and independence, range and strength circles majestically high over the tirolean mountains. You get the same sublime feeling when you hike along Tirol’s Adlerweg. The routing stretches over 410 km crossing the whole of Tirol and East Tirol. The first three of the 33 in total stages lead through the imposing Kaiser mountains from St. Johann in Tirol over the Gaudeamushütte and the crystal clear Lake Hintersteiner See to the fortress town of Kufstein. Jakobsweg are paths, on which pilgrim throngs have already been walking traceable along over centuries. The Jakobsweg mostly follow valleys and their exact routes are always changing according to political (eg. war) and geographic (eg. flood, rockfall etc.) factors. The history of the Jakobsweg is also a part of the history of Tirol. Signposted with the symbol of a shell, the Jakobsweg leads through the whole of the Tirol from east to west and further into the neighbouring countries. Several inns along the route have specialised in catering for needs of the pilgrims that walk the Jakobsweg.
