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.

The center of the universe. Mount Kailash, located in the remote Ngari region of Western Tibet, is sacred to Buddhists, Hindus, Jains, and Bonpos. The trek around its base, known as the 'Kora', is a 52km circuit through high-altitude desert, past ancient monasteries, and over the formidable Dolma La Pass (5,630m). It is not just a hike, but a profound spiritual journey into one of the most remote and high-altitude corners of the planet, where the air is thin and the scenery is a stark, celestial landscape of turquoise lakes and snow-draped black rock.
