Description

The "Berliner Höhenweg" is an alpine loop in Zillertal, Tirol, Austria. Due to the relative good infrastructure, but high difficulty (rugged rocks and mountains up to 3100m), the Berliner Höhenweg is one of the most desired FKT destinations in Austria for Trailrunners.

Start/End is Europahaus Mayrhofen. 

It is run anti-clockwise via the following Alpine Huts: Mayrhofen (633m) - Gamshütte (1921m) - Friesenberghaus (2498m) - Furtschaglhaus (2295m) - Berliner Hütte (2044m) - Greizer Hütte (2227m) - Kasseler Hütte (2278m) - Karl von Edel Hütte (2238m) - Mayrhofen (633m)
