Zillergrund - Hohenaualm "Klein Tibet"

With its fjord-like landscape, the Zillergrund offers the perfect starting point for a hike. On the left bank at a few meters above sea level, the path leads along the reservoir further into the Zillergrund. Here is also the source of the Ziller, which gives the Ziller Valley its name. The destination is the Hohenaualm, which is reminiscent of Tibet in the Himalayan mountains, and is therefore also called "Little Tibet".

Your journey begins in Mayrhofen, from where you take one of the regular buses to the Zillergrund reservoir. After enjoying the view of the reservoir, you start your hike on the trail towards "Little Tibet". The path leads past the turquoise-green water of the reservoir, surrounded by mighty mountains with steep cliffs. The closer you get to the Hohenaualm, the more the landscape reminds you of Tibet. From a distance you can already see the red, blue and yellow fabrics of the Tibetan flags waving in the wind. A last stretch past small wooden huts and several prayer wheels will finally take you to the Hohenaualm, which is decorated with historical paintings, antlers and milk churns.
