Zittauer Hütte Hike

The starting point for the wonderful hike to Zittauer Hütte can be found at the restaurant Finkau.

From here, the gravel road goes south, leading you into the woods where you can choose between the wider bike road or the narrow walking path.

If you take the walking path, continue your hike next to the wild stream; this feels amazing on hot summer days.

Along the way, there are some steeper shortcuts through the woods that are all labelled with yellow signs if you want to gain altitude faster.

Passing the Trisslalm, enjoy the free-roaming cows and watch the glacier as it sparkles through the backdrop of the woods as you get closer to the small, steep hiking path.

On the stairs made out of wood and stone, you can easily get up to Zittauer Hütte in quick time.

Zittauer Hütte is located near Unterer Gerlossee, and the views from here are quite incredible. The hut is also spectacular, offering great food and pleasant sleeping quarters.

If you have the energy, you can continue on to the summit of Rosskopf, a 1.5-2h hike which grants even better views

Return the same way you came.
