The Berlin High Trail (Berliner H\u00f6henweg in German) is an ambulatory gem of the Zillertal Alps and considered one of Austria\u2019s best multi-day treks. During its oscillating course, hikers will traverse breathtaking passes and deep glacial valleys, whereas having fun with dramatic views of jagged granite peaks and shimmering alpine lakes. <\/em>I accomplished the Berliner H\u00f6henweg <\/em>in mid-October 2019, as a part of an prolonged journey within the Alps. It was the final of 4 excessive trails I did through the Austrian leg of the journey; the others being the Stubaier H\u00f6henweg (see Trip Report\/Guide<\/a>), Schladming Tauern H\u00f6henweg, and the Wormser H\u00f6henweg. <\/em><\/p>\n
