Coburger Hütte — Seebensee & Drachensee

This is one of the most celebrated hikes in Tyrol, connecting two distinct alpine basins. Starting from the Ehrwalder Alm, a broad forest path leads to the Seebensee (1,657m), a turquoise lake that perfectly reflects the Zugspitze (2,962m) on clear days. The adventure continues with a steep, serpentine ascent of another 300 meters to the Coburger Hütte and the moody Drachensee (Dragon Lake). The hut sits on a high rock rib, overlooking both lakes and providing one of the most dramatic mountain vistas in the Mieminger Gebirge.

Route Typology: High-Altitude Glacial Access Treks. El Cocuy is home to Colombia’s most extensive remaining glacier system and is protected within a National Natural Park. Due to environmental sensitivity and agreements with the U'wa indigenous community, the former multi-day circuit is replaced by three strictly regulated day-hikes. These routes climb from the 'Páramo' (high-altitude moorland) through rocky moraines to the permitted edge of the glaciers. The most iconic feature is the 'Púlpito del Diablo,' a massive monolithic rock towering over the Pan de Azúcar ice field. With trailheads starting at 3,900m and peaking near 5,000m, this is a serious high-alpine challenge requiring deep respect for the environment and local regulations.
