Descend across meadows and through woods until you reach the former Wachtl Inn (closed at the moment).

Our recommendation for warming up: with the exception of the ascent at the beginning, there are hardly any steep parts. The tour is easily manageable on forest roads.

Go in the direction of Breitenau on your way back over Gschwendterwies. Those who are not tired yet can prolong the tour: Don’t choose the way back to Hinterthiersee at the crossroads, but go left up the mountain and then even towards Kranhof, pass the barriers until the Kranhofweg. On the Kranhofweg right at the Glemmbachklamm gorge back to the starting point in Hinterthiersee.

Slight ascents and descents, lush mountain meadows and shady copses of trees - the trail is not difficult and ideally suited for a sports adventure with the entire family.

Starting point: Hinterthiersee;
Route: From our bike hotel in Tyrol, cycle slightly downhill on the public road. After 500 metres, turn left at the Gruber family farm. Continue your tour towards Brandenberg undisturbed by traffic. After a short stretch of tarmac, enjoy riding on a perfectly groomed forest road through lovely mixed forests.

Turn left onto the Ellbachstraße heading towards the Kaiserhaus Chalet. After 15.7 km (approximately 90 minutes) and after a long but not very steep descent, you will reach the Kaiserklamm gorge, named after Emperor Franz Josef I. In olden times, felled trees were transported using the rapid currents of the gorge. We highly recommend that you leave your bikes behind and venture about 20 minutes into the gorge until you reach a tunnel chiselled into the rock, where an amazing view of the gorge is waiting for you. The gorge is accessible all summer – it is only closed out of safety concerns on days with strong rain. Back at the exit, turn right. After a couple of hundred metres, you will reach the Kaiserhaus hut, which is open from May to the end of October (with the exception of July/August when it is closed on Tuesdays) – with a spacious patio and playground. Why not stop for a bite to eat at 706 metres above sea level? Even Emperor Franz and Empress Sissi spent the night here – and their room was left in its original state. Take the same route back (approximately 90 minutes, ascending at the beginning). An ideal tour to try our e-bikes.
