Kaiserklamm
The Kaiserklamm is a gorge that is located in the valley of the Brandenberger Ache in the municipality of Brandenberg in Tyrol north of the Kaiserhaus. The Kaiserhaus is a 500-year-old building that now houses a guest garden and is located northeast of the Aschau district.
Name and story
The names Kaiserklamm and Kaiserhaus are supposed to recall Emperor Franz Joseph I , who allegedly enjoyed watching the workings of the Trift from the secured and mostly rock-cut paths and who went hunting from here.
In the past, the logs were carried down to the valley by the water of the river that formed the gorge. This is also the reason for the walkable and still existing paths.
tourism
The Kaiserklamm can be hiked through on foot. Kayak tours, rafting and white water swimming are also possible. In winter (December to Easter) and after heavy rainfall, the gorge is closed to tourist traffic. Numerous rockfalls, demolished railings and uprooted trees meant that extensive repairs had to be undertaken in spring 2009.
