Snow lingers on the cold north face well into April. Taking crampons is a good idea!

Today's Sachs Bridge consists of two steel bridge sections that were placed on reinforced foundations by helicopter in 2019 to better protect and stabilize the bridge against weather and flood damage. Walking across the bridge offers impressive views of the dam and the small lake dammed above it, as well as back into the depths of the gorge with its rushing water and steep rock faces – a truly special experience on a hike through the Gießenbach Gorge.

The covered wooden bridge over the Gießenbach stream near the Schopperalm is a charming and characteristic feature on the hiking route through the Gießenbach Gorge – especially on the way back to the farms around the Trojerhof.

Those crossing this bridge experience a transition between two sections of the hike: from the alpine pasture and the open terrain back into the forest and up to the meadows and pastures surrounding the Trojerhof. The bridge marks not only a geographical location, but also a change of atmosphere – the sound of the stream beneath the planks, the wooden roofs overhead, the feeling of protection from rain or strong sun.

The Wachtl quarry is located on the border between Tyrol and Bavaria, near Kiefersfelden (not Ruhpolding). For many decades, limestone and marl were mined here for the Kiefersfelden cement factory and transported down to the valley on the historic Wachtl Railway. Today, mining has largely ceased, and a small lake has formed in the former pits. Nature is slowly reclaiming the site—a silent testament to industrial history and the power of the landscape around Thiersee.
