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.

Formed by the Kapruner Ache river over thousands of years, the Sigmund Thun Gorge is a narrow, deep chasm in the Kaprun valley. A maintained wooden walkway (Stege) follows the rock walls, allowing visitors to walk directly above the glacial water. The gorge is 320m long and up to 30m deep. The route continues past the gorge to the clear Klammsee lake, which offers a circular walking path and views of the surrounding Hohe Tauern peaks.
