Easy walk from Bruneck/Brunico to "Kaiserwarte" and Reischach/Riscone.
Around 1903, on the highest point of "Kühbergl/Monte Spalliera", a 18 meters high observation tower was built, which allowed the Emperor Franz Joseph I to observe the artillery movements in Brunico and surroundings. This tower and the hill were named "Kaiserwarte". Later the tower became a popular scenic spot, but over the years it suffered natural damages and in 1950 it had to be removed for safety reasons. Currently a small stone column can be seen where once the tower stood.
The walk starts in Bruneck/Brunico (835 m) at the crossroad with the street in direction Reischach/Riscone. The wide hiking paths no. 20 and 21 conduct pleasantly uphill to the "Kaiserwarte", the highest point of the hill "Kühbergl", and to Reischach (958 m).
How to Get There By car, it is easily accessible from the A22 (Brenner motorway), exit Bressanone/Brixenin Val Pusteria/Pustertal, Bruneck-Brunico
