Not really a summit, more simply the highest point of a long ridge.

Snow lingers on the cold north face well into April. Taking crampons is a good idea!

Today's Sachs Bridge consists of two steel bridge sections that were placed on reinforced foundations by helicopter in 2019 to better protect and stabilize the bridge against weather and flood damage. Walking across the bridge offers impressive views of the dam and the small lake dammed above it, as well as back into the depths of the gorge with its rushing water and steep rock faces – a truly special experience on a hike through the Gießenbach Gorge.

The covered wooden bridge over the Gießenbach stream near the Schopperalm is a charming and characteristic feature on the hiking route through the Gießenbach Gorge – especially on the way back to the farms around the Trojerhof.

Those crossing this bridge experience a transition between two sections of the hike: from the alpine pasture and the open terrain back into the forest and up to the meadows and pastures surrounding the Trojerhof. The bridge marks not only a geographical location, but also a change of atmosphere – the sound of the stream beneath the planks, the wooden roofs overhead, the feeling of protection from rain or strong sun.

The Wachtl quarry is located on the border between Tyrol and Bavaria, not far from Thiersee and Kiefersfelden. Since the 19th century, limestone and marl have been mined here, serving as raw materials for the Kiefersfelden cement plant. The narrow-gauge Wachtl Railway transported the rocks directly from the quarry down into the valley – a technical and industrial landmark of the region. The quarry is located on the northern edge of the Thiersee Basin and impressively showcases the geological structures of the Alps, with steep limestone cliffs and visible stratification. Today, industrial operations have largely ceased; parts of the quarry have been abandoned and filled with water, forming a small lake. Nature is slowly beginning to reclaim the area: habitats for plants, amphibians, and birds are emerging between the rocks, scree, and old mining areas. Nevertheless, the site remains an impressive testament to past industrial history – a place where the power of nature and the traces of human labor intersect in a fascinating way.
