Wow - it's pretty wild here on the Niederkaiser. The foothills of the Wilder Kaiser have a lot to offer: secured alpine paths, a chapel built into the rock face, a hermitage, a waterfall worth seeing and dizzying views of St. Johann in Tirol.
Variable summit tour on the Niederkaiser, the eastern foothills of the Wilder Kaiser. Not to be underestimated, especially if the steep Maiklsteig, which is peppered with iron steps and ladders, is included in the tour. The alternative route via the Einsiedelei and Gmailkapelle is technically easier, but also steep. On the ridge, a scenic hike over the Ursula cross and the Gscheuerkopf. Here, too, the route is partly rocky and secured with ropes. On the way towards Schleierwasserfall, the terrain becomes gentler and the path to the waterfall is once again secured. Easy way back to the Rumlerhof, which is the only refreshment stop along the way.
This hike starts in Hinterkaiser, at the hiking trail to Maiklsteig (only for experienced alpine climbers). The trail winds its way up to Niederkaiser and is quite steep in parts. At the rock wall, there are iron rungs and steps up to the ridge. Continue along the ridge to Granderalm. At Granderalm there is an iron ladder down to Schleier Waterfall. Trail No. 818 takes you past the waterfall down to Graspoint Niederalm where you take the trail to St. Johann in Tirol and Moor & more. Continue to Rummlerhof and back to the starting point of this hike.
