Berliner Höhenweg — The Zillertal High-Route

The Berliner Höhenweg (also known as the Zillertaler Runde) is one of the most prestigious high-altitude treks in the Alps. This 8-day circuit traverses the heart of the Zillertal Alps Nature Park, staying consistently between 2,000 and 3,000 meters. The route is characterized by steep granite passes, ancient glacial plateaus, and overnight stays in historic, palatial huts like the Berliner Hütte—a designated monument. It is a world of sharp ridges, emerald reservoirs, and the last remaining glaciers of the Zillertal range.

The Lycian Way (Likya Yolu) is Turkey's first and most renowned long-distance trekking route. Stretching for roughly 540 kilometers from Fethiye (Ovacık) to Antalya, it is a spectacular collision of deep azure Mediterranean waters, rugged pine-clad mountains, and ancient history. The trail loosely traces the jagged coastline of the ancient Lycian civilization, a confederation of fierce naval city-states. Hikers walk on ancient Roman roads, narrow goat trails, and steep mountain passes, constantly moving between remote, pristine pebble beaches (like Kabak and Patara) and high alpine lookouts (like Mount Olympos/Tahtalı). Along the way, the path weaves directly through dozens of spectacular, overgrown ruins of ancient Lycian cities with their iconic rock-cut tombs.
