August 5, 2022,Kaiserschützenweg Nauders und Bunker und Etschquelle Reschen

Today we hiked the Kaiserschützenweg in Nauders. Nauders Fortress can only be visited on Wednesdays and Sundays and as part of a registered tour. We made the detour to the nearby bunker with the adjoining source of the Adige in Reschen, but I don't want to withhold the photos.

Once we arrived in Nauders, we still had time to go for a hike to the Sellesköpfe 🥾🏔️. At the Inntalblick we could see the route 🚲 to the Norbertshöhe from above again🤩

The path leads gently uphill from Nauders to Finstermünzblick over lush alpine meadows. The hike continues to the Sellesköpfen via easily walkable paths. Continue to the cavern where you can still visit the caves of the old fortresses. Briefly turned onto the Kaiserschützenweg, which offers a very adventurous view along the rock with a wire mesh fence over the abyss …

Beautiful route and not entirely for beginners. We also went wrong once, so all in all extra up and down (steep, stairs, rocks, etc).

Walked the Kaiserschützenweg in Nauders today

Right at the start we met a llama hiking group, also never seen before.
Insanely beautiful ascent, at the top many positions, shelters and trenches from the First World War await you.
Discovered 2 artificial caves (with the help of Komoot) that served as barracks then, now as sheepfolds, …

A very interesting path where you can experience history. The view and distant views were simply indescribable in today's weather. Unfortunately we couldn't stop at the Hotel Norbertshöhe. The entrances were blocked by the hotel. We then treated ourselves to coffee and beer in Nauders. This tour from the Kaiserschüzenweg does not go along the paths at the fortress.
Komoot …
