Berlin Hohenweg. Day 2. Mayrhofen to Gamshutte.

 21 July 2017

This was supposed to be a rather easy day. The guidebook indicated 3 hours as the time of hiking to the hut. Perhaps because of our jet lags, or perhaps because we are no longer that young, that we hiked for about 5 hours.

Berlin Hohenweg (Berlin High Trail) is a popular, multiday hike in Zillertal Alps in Austria. We did it with my friend, Mike, in 2017. Why a delay in the report? Perhaps because it was not quite as pleasant experience as Alta Via 1 in 2015. The problem was predominantly related to the weather. As Dolomites are typically quite warm in summer, on this route we had a few of rainy and cold days. Still, our story could be of interest for someone planning this route. 

We did all our reservations through Zillertal Naturpark. We found this to be both convenient and economical (e.g., got some vouchers for free bus and taxi rides). Check them out for their current pricing.
