Trail description

A 4.7 km climb of about 655 m from the Schlegeis reservoir to the Olpererhütte at 2,389 m, on the Berliner Höhenweg. The hut looks straight down on the turquoise reservoir, and a small suspension bridge on the path nearby is one of the most photographed spots in the Zillertal. The first part follows the reservoir road.
