September 6, 2022,Wanderung Kaiserschützenweg von Nauders , Einstieg Festung Nauders

The hike via the entrance to Nauders Fortress should only be undertaken by experienced hikers with good shoes and a head for heights. The path is sometimes only 30-40 cm wide, it goes down vertically without safety! But it's a great tour!

August 8, 2022,Randonnée au départ de Nauders vers le Kaiserschützenweg en passant par l'ancienne prison

Extremely well laid out path. The climb from the old prison is very steep and endless. But the reward on arrival is worth it. Strongly not recommended for children under 10 and people prone to vertigo.

The Kaiserschützenweg is a historical hiking trail. But it is better to go the other way around, because the last stretch that I walked is very steep downhill. So first take path 13 from Nauders to Nauders Fortress on a wide gravel path. Then up the Kaiserschützensteig and back to Nauders via the Sellesköpfe.

It went from Nauders in the direction of the fortress, where the Kaiserschützenweg begins. The path leads up the mountain via stairs and narrow paths, covering about 1.6 kilometers and about 380 meters in altitude 💪😊. Once at the top you can go left for a tour. You pass the Karvernen, have a great view of Bergkastel and Altfinstermünz. Then …

IMPORTANT: walk the path counterclockwise. Part of the route is definitely too steep for a descent, too narrow, too rocky and you climb up forwards and not down backwards. The tour begins at Nauders Fortress and the most violent section begins immediately. You should be free from giddiness and sure-footed. Not suitable for children.
The path is peppered with descriptive …
