The entire Brandenberger Valley lived off woodwork well into the 20th century. For this purpose, timber rafting was conducted on the Ache. The wood was floated down to Kramsach and here, until the beginning of the 20th century, it was processed into charcoal needed in the copper smelters of Brixlegg. To this end, large amounts of wood were cut in the back of the valley and collected in the reservoir at the Erzherzog-Johann-Klause, from where it was floated twice a week down the Ache. The gorges downstream were a disruptive factor, and the woodworkers began building ladders into the gorges, allowing them to access lodged logs to remove blockages.
At the starting point in Pinegg, we get a glimpse of the Pinegger Gorge on the bridge between the Ranggerhof and the sawmill, which, however, has not been made accessible by any timber rafting path. Therefore, we must ascend on the west side of the gorge via the road to a forest house. Near the Ache, we then hike upstream, eventually through a beautiful mixed forest to the Kaiserhaus.The road continues past the north side of the Kaiserhaus in a northeasterly direction to a bridge over the Brandenberger Ache. The Ellbach flows in here from the east, and from the starting point to here, one has followed a section of the "North Alpine Long Distance Trail." Before the bridge, the path into the gorge begins, mostly carved out of the rock and (especially interesting for children) leading through tunnel breakthroughs. A memorial cross commemorates the builder of the timber rafting path. The path follows the Ache into a valley with lovely rest areas, which widens behind the end of the gorge.
