Enzian Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Beautiful old hut right after the Mendel Pass (approx. 20 min)... So it's more of a stop on the way back from Monte Roen.

Up and down with the Mendel cable car, which has a 64% gradient, spectacular 😳🙃 the route was beautiful, but not demanding, it goes through the forest a lot and I missed the beautiful views a little.
