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 Pennine Way is the grandfather of British National Trails, a legendary and notorious 268-mile (435km) walk along the rugged 'backbone of England'. Starting in Edale in the Peak District and finishing just over the Scottish border in Kirk Yetholm, the route traverses some of the wildest and most exposed high moorland in the country. Walkers should navigate the peat bogs of Kinder Scout, the limestone pavements of the Yorkshire Dales, the high desolate fells of the North Pennines, and the ancient ruins of Hadrian's Wall before the final, grueling crossing of the Cheviot Hills. It is revered, feared, and widely considered the toughest extended hiking trail in England.
