What looks like an old grand hotel beneath glaciated peaks is the oldest refuge in the Zillertal Alps: the Berliner Hütte. With five-metre-high ceilings in the wood-panelled dining room, this Alpine Club hut is absolutely unique among mountain huts. Nevertheless, you can enjoy casual coziness and modern comfort here.
The trail leads through forest and wide alpine pastures for about three hours through the picturesque Zemmgrund up to the Berliner Hütte. First on a wide, easy forest path, later on a steeper path. The impression of the imposing ensemble of buildings beneath the peaks of the Zillertal main ridge is overwhelming.
This route takes you from Alpengasthaus Breitlahner, 1,257 m via Klausenalm, 1,301 m along forest trail no. 523, which winds its way up the mountain in several hairpin bends and finally leads to Grawandhütte, 1,636 m and on to Alpenrosenhütte, 1,878 m. Once you arrive at the Alpenrosenhütte, 1,878 m, you can take a well-earned break and enjoy the magnificent panoramic view of the surrounding mountains before beginning the 30-minute ascent to the Berliner Hütte, 2,042 m, which is steeped in history and well worth seeing.
By the way, don't forget to admire the war memorial of the AV-Sektion Berlin, which is located on the trail shortly after the Grawandhütte, 1,636 m.
