Our snowy hike with Cosmin was an absolute joy. He's not only a funny and friendly person, but also an experienced hiker, with whom I felt super safe with. I can nothing but recommend him as a guide!

Overview for the hike to Coburger Hut
This route is one of the most breathtaking alpine hikes in the Tyrolean Alps! Our day begins at the Ehrwalder Almbahn Talstation, where we take the 8-seater gondola up to Ehrwalder Alm — the gateway between the Wettersteingebirge and the Mieminger Kette. (Please note: the cable car ticket — approx. €25 round trip — is not included in the tour price.)
From Ehrwalder Alm, we follow a panoramic trail to the turquoise Seebensee, one of the most photographed alpine lakes in Austria. We then continue on a more challenging section up to Drachensee, a dramatic, hidden lake cradled by steep cliffs and rocky peaks.
Our final destination is the Coburger Hütte, located above Drachensee at 1,917 meters. Here, we’ll enjoy a traditional Tyrolean lunch with hearty regional dishes and incredible mountain views.
This is a long and rewarding day hike, rich in alpine beauty and authentic Austrian culture. From immaculate lakes to wild peaks and legendary mountain huts, this tour is a true highlight for nature lovers and mountain enthusiasts.

About your guide: Cosmin Mihoreanu - certified UIMLA Bergwanderführer (Mountain Leader)
Since 2019, I’ve guided over 100 hikes that I personally organized, accompanying international visitors and guests through some of the most stunning landscapes—especially in Germany’s Bavarian Alps and across the beautiful Austrian Alps.
As a guide, I’m highly attentive and safety-oriented, ensuring that my guests feel confident and supported on the trail. I’m also deeply committed to protecting the environment, doing my best to minimize our impact and promote responsible hiking practices.
In addition, I am a certified NLP communication trainer and coach. This allows me to support individuals not only physically but also mentally and emotionally during our outdoor experiences. Using psychological NLP methods, I’ve helped several clients overcome their fear of heights and gain greater confidence in alpine terrain.
