Rushing gorge water as a means of transportation: countless logs were regularly transported down the Kaiserklamm gorge into the valley by floating. The last drifting took place in 1966 - but the traces can still be seen in the Kaiserklamm today.
A short and easy tour through the Kaiserklamm gorge, on which you should take all the more time to visualize the former wood drift.
The gorge is closed on heavy rainy days and in winter for safety reasons.
Until 1966, logs were drifted downstream through the water of the Ache, which shaped the gorge. This is also the reason for the still existing and walkable trails, which were specially carved out of the rock. For centuries, dozens of times a year, Brandenberg was the scene of the unique spectacle of log driving, which once attracted even emperors and statesmen as spectators.
The drifting trail begins a few hundred meters below the Kaiserhaus inn. The path leads about 1 km through the historic Kaiserklamm. Along the Kaiserklamm, some bridges and stone tunnels make the route even more interesting. Observe the power of the water and immerse yourself in the history of the Brandenberger log driving. After the gorge, you can comfortably hike downstream on the forest road back to the starting point.
This Kaiserklamm circular route can be perfectly combined with a pleasurable meal at the Kaiserhaus. The traditionally located inn was once frequented overnight by Emperor Franz Joseph with his Sissi. In front of the house, the sunny beer garden invites you to linger before or after the hike. The little guests can enjoy the large playground with low ropes course and much more.
