Description

The old “Zollwachhütte” (customs guard hut) in Hundskehlgrund Valley is where single trail no. 486 begins and leads along a well-developed hiking trail, partly over rocks and stone slabs to Hundskehljoch. Due to the very steep and challenging nature of this trail, you may have to carry your bike on some sections. No refreshments are available on site, but you can stop for a break on your return to the Zillergrund.
