SACRED PLACES
The region surrounding Gasteig, St. Johann in Tirol, and the Wilder Kaiser is home to numerous special places that invite you to slow down, experience nature more consciously, and reconnect with yourself. Some have been places of contemplation for centuries, while others are defined primarily by the raw power and beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Maria Blut Hermitage: Situated high above St. Johann at the foot of the Niederkaiser, this historic hermitage is a special place of silence and contemplation. The path leading there passes through forests and meadows and is wonderful for a mindful or meditative hike.
Gmail Chapel: Above the hermitage, this extraordinary little Baroque chapel from 1782 is nestled directly into a rock face of the Niederkaiser. Its secluded location, the combination of rock, forest, and sacred space, and the views across the valley make it a particularly memorable destination.
Kaiserbach Valley: This expansive nature reserve at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser combines spaciousness, tranquility, and pristine Alpine scenery. It is a wonderful place for long walks, conscious time-outs, and quiet moments beneath the impressive peaks of the Kaiser Mountains.
Griesbach Gorge: Only a short distance from Gasteig, this gorge leads through a wild landscape of rock, forest, and clear mountain water. Walkways and suspension bridges follow the stream through the gorge, creating an immersive experience of the natural environment.
Schleier Waterfall: At the foot of the Wilder Kaiser, water cascades like a delicate veil across an imposing rock face. The waterfall can be incorporated into a hike through the Niederkaiser landscape and offers a beautiful place to pause and take in your surroundings.
Eifersbach Waterfall: This waterfall near St. Johann can be reached along a varied hiking trail. The combination of forest, rock, and flowing water makes it a beautiful destination if you would like to spend some time in nature after your session and allow the experience to continue unfolding.
Teufelsgasse: Despite its name ("Devil's Alley"), this mysterious rocky gorge above Kirchdorf is a fascinating natural site. The narrow path between towering rock walls can feel like entering a hidden world and is particularly suited to those who enjoy unusual landscapes and quiet forest trails.
Niederkaiser: The quieter eastern section of the Kaiser Mountains connects several of the region's most beautiful places. The hermitage, Gmail Chapel, forests, viewpoints, and waterfalls can be combined into a longer hike, making this an ideal area if you would like to combine time in nature with inner reflection.
