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.

Reykjavík's City Mountain. Mt. Esja (914m) is the massive, table-top volcanic range that characterizes the northern skyline of the capital. While the massif reaches 914 metres at Hábunga, the primary hiking route targets the prominent Þverfellshorn summit (780m). Serving as a local landmark, it is a frequented destination for both fitness training and weekend recreation. The trail is modular: most visitors stop at the 'Steinn' (The Rock) marker at approx. 600m, while those seeking a greater vertical challenge can continue to the Þverfellshorn plateau via steep, rocky sections equipped with fixed steel chains for assistance. The view from the top provides a comprehensive panorama of the Reykjavík peninsula and Faxaflói Bay.
