Filming Location - the "Öfen"
The Öfen are an impressive rocky gorge in the Kemetgebirge mountains between the Stoderzinken and the Kammspitze. The road winds steeply and windingly through high rock faces here - a fascinating sight that can often be seen in car scenes in the series.
Before there was a road through the gorge, wood was transported down into the valley on so-called “giants” - chute-like channels. The kilns are not accessible by car, but you can explore them on a hike or mountain bike.
The starting point for the hike through the ovens is the Kneipp facility in the Lend. From there, a 1.5-hour ascent leads to the Viehbergalm, where you can stop for a bite to eat. Just 30 minutes further on is the idyllic Miesbodensee, a scenic gem and perfect destination for nature lovers.
The mountain bike tour through the Öfen is not for the inexperienced: at 63 km long and with an altitude difference of over 1,000 meters, it requires a good level of fitness and solid equipment. But you will be rewarded with unique views and spectacular natural scenery.
