Near the hamlet of Pinegg, a 16-meter-long bridge (built in 1993) crosses the Brandenberger Ache. It is the lowest point between the descents from Brandenberg on one side and from the saddle below Aschau on the other. Upstream, you have a beautiful view into the gorge, downstream onto the more gently flowing Ache.

It is worth taking a short break on this bridge and looking into the narrow Kaiserklamm gorge.

Even if you don't hike into the gorge, it's still worth taking a look from the bike path. A photo stop should be included here. According to the information above, Emperor Franz Joseph (after whom the gorge is named) is said to have enjoyed and observed the work of the cattle grazing here and also went hunting here.
