Adventure round Kaunertal
Wild gorges, roaring waterfalls, the kingdom of the three-thousanders very close
Experience a journey into the past and into the interior of the mountain
The Kaunertal adventure circuit is a varied family hike for young and old and offers a natural spectacle of impressive diversity and special moments at the foot of the Kaunergrat.
Along the Verpeilschlucht you follow the course of the water via stairs, narrow paths and a suspension bridge. There are always new perspectives on the cascades and waterfalls of the Verpeilbach. The gorge is crossed on a spectacular suspension bridge.
The Adlerblick viewing platform is enthroned high above Feichten on the over 100m high "Seiwand" rock face. Here you can get very close to the mighty peaks of the Kaunertal mountains and get a bird's-eye view of the valley. A small path connects the Adlerblick with the Bergwerksblick viewing platform. The platform towers over a steep slope where the Kaunertal miners mined centuries ago.
This is where the journey into the past and into the heart of the mountain begins. The Knappensteig leads through the history and tradition of Kaunertal mining. At the miners' hut you can look for ore yourself and share your snack with the wood miners. Two accessible miners' holes from the 16th and 17th centuries can be found along the further course of the path.
