The Kaiser Mountains as a 3D relief map

Near the German border, about 25 km south of Rosenheim, lies a mountain group of the Northern Limestone Alps that is among the best known in the Eastern Alps. The Kaiser Mountains measure around 20 km from east to west and about 14 km from north to south. The Wilder Kaiser consists mainly of bare limestone, while the Zahmer Kaiser lies to the north of it and is covered mainly with mountain pines on its south side. The two are connected by the Stripsenjoch and separated in the west by the Kaisertal and in the east by the Kaiserbachtal. To the southeast, the much lower Niederkaiser closes off the range.

Ellmauer Halt and the climbing peaks of the Wilder Kaiser

The highest summit is the Ellmauer Halt at 2,344 m in the municipality of Ellmau. Around forty other summits stand in the Wilder Kaiser, including famous climbing peaks such as the Totenkirchl, Fleischbank and Predigtstuhl. Hans Dülfer opened a route through the east face of the Fleischbank in 1912 and one through the west face of the Totenkirchl in 1913; by climbing the Pumprisse on the Fleischbank without artificial aid, Reinhard Karl and Helmut Kiene introduced the seventh grade in 1977. The Zahmer Kaiser only just exceeds the 2,000-meter mark with the Vordere Kesselschneid.

Gamsängersteig, Kaisertal and Adlerweg

The normal route up the Ellmauer Halt is the Gamsängersteig, a via ferrata from the Gruttenhütte at 1,620 m with difficulty A/B and I, with one section at C; the key sections are the 74 rungs on the Jägerwand. The first known tourist on the summit, on June 29, 1869, was the Munich student Karl Hofmann, guided by Johann Schlechter via the Rote-Rinn-Scharte. Until 2008, the Kaisertal was the only inhabited valley in Austria without a road connection. As the Wilder-Kaiser-Steig, the first two stages of the Adlerweg (Eagle Walk) lead from St. Johann in Tirol via the Gaudeamushütte, Gruttenhütte, Kaiser-Hochalm and Walleralm to the Hintersteiner See. The Kaiser Mountains nature reserve has existed since April 19, 1963; it includes all summits of the Wilder and Zahmer Kaiser.

The Steinerne Rinne as your own route

From the Gaudeamushütte through the Kübelkar and the Steinerne Rinne over the Ellmauer Tor to the Stripsenjochhaus: a tour like this as a GPX file becomes a Track relief, and any other area is created in the live 3D configurator. Handmade in the Bavarian Alps from exact LiDAR elevation data, the relief stands on oak or stone pine; an engraving can be added as an option.

The Kaiser Mountains as a gift

Ellmauer Halt, Totenkirchl, Kaisertal: a relief of the Kaiser suits climbers and hikers from the Adlerweg, and it works as a memento of the Kaiserkrone Trail. If you don't know their favorite summit, there is always the gift card.

Which reliefs from the Kaiser Mountains are available ready-made?

The Wilder Kaiser is available in a single color as Classic, as is the whole Kaiser Mountains range with the Wilder and Zahmer Kaiser. As Track with a raised line, we offer the Ellmauer Halt via the Gamsängersteig, the Kaiserkrone Trail 2026 and the Oberaudorf Trail Festival 2025.

Can I order the Steinerne Rinne or the Adlerweg as my own route?

Yes, with your recording in the custom Relief Track. As a GPX file or via a link from Strava, Komoot or Garmin, the route becomes a raised 3D line in red or white. Up to two tracks can be combined on one relief.

Can I choose my own area in the Kaiser Mountains?

Yes. In the live 3D configurator you enter, for example, the Kaisertal, the Stripsenjoch or the Hintersteiner See and move the area as you like. The preview shows the relief from all sides before you order. Sizes range from 10 × 10 cm to 28 × 28 cm.

Is the Wilder Kaiser also available in color?

Yes, as Relief Natural. It shows forest, meadow, rock, water and snow in true-to-nature coloring; you set the snow line yourself, and summer or winter mode as well. You choose the area with the Wilder and Zahmer Kaiser in the configurator.
