His name made him famous...
Joseph Kyselak
1798-1831
"At the lowest point, the name KYSELAK, unavoidable in such places, can be read in the rock face, the name of a man who, as a result of a bet, wanted to make his contemporaries and posterity known."
- Karl Baedeker, 1855

Two decades of research: The kyselak project
In 2006 we began to collect and examine sources and findings related to Joseph KYSELAK. His travellogue, his signatures.
Along the hiking tour from 1825 we oresented Kyselak’s story as lectures, exhibitions, screenings and guided tours. We’ve had great support from the actors: Nikolaus Barton, Michou Friesz and Gerhard Dorfer.
