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, your hike to "Little Tibet" begins. The trail leads along the shoreline of the reservoir's turquoise-green waters, surrounded by mighty mountains with their steep rocky flanks. The closer you get to the Hohenaualm, the more the landscape reminds you of Tibet. You can already see the red, blue and yellow fabrics of the Tibetan flags blowing in the wind from a distance. The final stretch takes you past small wooden huts and several prayer wheels and on to the Hohenaualm, adorned with historic paintings, antlers and milk churns.
Tip: With bus fares of Euro 2 or more, you receive an environmental bonus ticket - a voucher for Euro 1.50 that you can redeem in one of the guesthouses in the Zillergrund.
