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.

300km of tea. The Pekoe Trail is Sri Lanka's first long-distance hiking trail, a 22-stage journey through the heart of the Central Highlands. A low-gradient cultural traverse carved out of ancient tea plantation paths, the trail winds through rolling emerald hills, colonial-era estates, misty forests, and vibrant local villages. It starts in Kandy and heads east and then south toward Nuwara Eliya and Ella. This isn't a mountain climb but a cultural and ecological immersion, offering a slow-travel perspective on one of often regarded as one of the most famous tea-growing regions.
