This handy guidebook describes two great treks in the Zillertal Alps in the Austrian Tyrol, both taking less than 10 days to complete, visiting superb huts and following well-maintained and marked trails. This is a perfect area for experienced trekkers and the Zillertal Rucksack Route - or Berliner Hoehen Weg - avoids all difficult passes and glacier crossings to make an ideal first-time hut-to-hut walking route. This route traverses the range as a continuous tour described clearly in recommended stages, illustrated with profiles and sketch maps as well as annotated photographs for extra clarification, with lots of day excursions from the huts to neighbouring peaks on both the Italian and Austrian sides of the border. The more challenging South Tyrol Tour crosses the Zillertal Alps along the Austro-Italian border and links back to the Rucksack Route to make another two-week circular tour, again with lots of excursions. This guidebook includes detailed descriptions of the trail, clear maps and inspiring photography, as well as information on huts and practical details to the area, written by a highly experienced afficionado of the Austrian Alps.
