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.

Corno Grande (2,912m) is the highest peak in the Apennine Mountains, forming the central massif of the Gran Sasso d'Italia in Italy. The 'Via Normale' (Normal Route) is the primary non-climbing ascent originating from the Campo Imperatore plateau. The trail traverses high-altitude karst terrain, characterized by barren limestone slopes and significant verticality. The route includes sustained climbs through the 'Brecciaio' scree field and a final Class 2 limestone scramble to the western summit. Positioned between the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian seas, the summit provides significant regional visibility over the central Italian peninsula.
