Dreamy High-Altitude Trail in the Wilder Kaiser: A Panoramic Hike You'll Fall in Love With

If you enjoy hiking, then you shouldn't miss this dream tour in Austria. So stark! We are surrounded by these mighty cliffs. We set off toward magnificent views, passing by a spectacular waterfall. and to huts exactly as one would wish them to be in the Alps. And? Very good. Come along on the Panorama High Trail, for here we experience the Wilder Kaiser at its most beautiful. What a beautiful shower. I woke up this morning with this view. There he rises, the Wild Kaiser. And I find that from a distance, it always looks utterly insurmountable. Simply like a cliff face that reaches straight into the sky. Would you like to go hiking there already? Feel free to write it down in the comments below. And now, we’ll take you on a tour that’s among the most beautiful in the Wilder Kaiser. First of all, there's a short room tour. We stayed overnight at the Explorer Hotel Kitzbühel. And this morning I even made my bed specially, so that everything looks neat here. Besides, of course, a good breakfast. Felix even prepared an extra egg for me at the egg-frying station. That means I'm well-prepared and ready for the tour. We are starting now above Going. Now we'll calmly follow the forest road upward from here. And soon we will also reach the picturesque Schleier Waterfall. I'm really looking forward to it especially. And from there, it will also become truly promising with views stretching all the way to the high Tauern. We will surely find a hut or two along the roadside. That means somewhere out there, a delicious Kaisersemmel is waiting for us. And behind the camera, as always, is Felix. Hello, Felix. Hi. By the way, it's also worth staying around today, because later on you can win a short getaway to the Explorer Hotels. Be excited. It's quite pleasant coming in here from above, and also very picturesque. For example, one can already hear the water rushing. The start is still really comfortable. We're winding our way up here. No soul in sight, and it's never been particularly steep so far—just always gently rising. You can easily hike up here, placing one foot in front of the other, and still keep your head up to enjoy the panorama. Because up there, the Emperor's jagged rock storms keep flashing through all the time. It's getting steeper uphill now. Here there are steps, roots, and big strides you need to take now. It's a bit like a jungle atmosphere in here. It's almost as if you're passing through a cave made of trees. Everything is green everywhere. Then the gurgling of the water. We always have to cross these little stream beds from time to time. And over there, I think I can already hear the splashing of the waterfall. Right there, soon. Yes, there he plunges from the cliff. If we had swimming suits with us, do you have swimming suits with you? No. Then we could stand underneath it and shower. You can always go naked if necessary. The water here falls so delicately into the depth, just like a veil. Perhaps also for this reason the name Veil Waterfall. It is 60 meters tall in total, and I find it looks truly fascinating. how the water shoots over the overhang up there. This overhang is also popular among climbers, at least when one is very, very experienced at it. There are safety nets and ropes everywhere, visible if you look closely. Or you can simply stay on the ground, walk a bit further uphill, and go behind the waterfall. Others go to the zoo for that. And here we are suddenly surrounded by goats. Even these very young little chicks, look here. They're already moving around in here like little chamois. So completely practiced over the rocks. I've been so afraid the whole time that it might jump on me, you know? So Anlauf takes it or so bam. We continue heading toward the upper path. This is now the actual panoramic elevation trail. We're already well over the little trees by now and you can also see the snow-covered High Tauern mountains back there now. They are lying there, and we have a sensational view straight down across the entire valley. The path leads us along the steeply rising rock walls here as well. One shouldn't really stop there at all, but should continue moving briskly. In fact, there is naturally also a slight risk of rockfall everywhere here. Small river crossing. Always already looking to see which stones are stuck. I caught a wobble first. That's the adventure section. The scene has suddenly changed completely. We are now standing here on this vast alpine meadow and are surrounded by countless little flowers. Everywhere it glows in yellow, violet, blue. All colors are represented. And then, in the background, there's still a rather idyllic herd of cows grazing. And that little hut over there is also so wonderfully, authentically rustic here. Picture-book landscape. There is already hut number one ahead of us. This is the top shelf. There you can also sit comfortably and enjoy the view at the same time. Enjoy something delicious. It is always open on weekends. I am looking forward to the Kaiser's dumpling at the Gaudiamus Hut. That's why we still have to walk a little further. Now the final meters went straight up steeply. We wound our way up the meadow here, more or less vertically, in these very small serpentine curves. And that under the scorching midday sun. That's quite exhausting. You'll need quite a bit of drink if you're out and about here. But now I think we've just reached the highest point. He is there ahead. One should also have a wonderful view there. Oh, how great. Well-earned break. It's like one of those viewing balconies up here. Behind me, the striking rock walls of the Wilder Kaiser. With the plowshare, which for example rises quite prominently there. And before me, a view truly unparalleled, one could say. All the prominent peaks are found here. For example, the Leoganger Steinberge, the Kitzbühlerhorn, and the Hohentauern in the background there. With the Großvenediger, which is clearly visible there. Then it continues on toward the Zillertal Alps, all the way into the Karwendel. Now I'm hungry. I think we've earned the emperor's pudding today. Bad luck, see if we can still find a nice spot. It's well attended today. I think it's good that the menu starts with the liquor list. There are mountain herbs, stone pine, hazelnut—everything the heart desires. And delicious dishes. Frankfurter, Pizztaler house sausage, spinach dumplings. Kaiserschmarrn isn't on the menu, but we've been here before. One must ask. Most of the time, they have it. For me, please. Thank you very much. It looks great. Both of them look great. The emperor's pancake looks nicely caramelized. I'm looking forward to it. And Felix has penne with fresh mushrooms. I'd take that too. Bon appétit. And? Very good. If you'd like to follow our tour, Then definitely download the free Home-of-Travel app now. There you will find the detailed tour report along with an interactive map.
