The climb is challenging and takes a long time. But it's well worth it. The path is truly magnificent.

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🤩

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 …

Discovered 2 artificial caves (with the help of Komoot) that served as barracks then, now as sheepfolds, …

Day 2 in Nauders ⛰

This short variant of the hike was not actually planned. We planned to walk from the village of Nauders to the old fortress and from there to climb the steep stairs and ladders on the slope into the Kaiserschützenweg.
