Hiking the Innsbruck Trek - Day 3: Kühtai

Experience Day 3 of the Innsbruck Trek long distance hike with Paul! This stage takes us towards Kühtai and Sellraintal, including the Feldringalm and Dortmunder Hütte.

"We're about to embark on what I consider as one of the longest hikes I have ever been on, in terms of distance since time at this point is irrelevant (we've got plenty of it!). After the bus dropped us off at the Sattele bus station, we started walking towards our first goal, the Feldringalm. Or at least I thought we did. Always make sure you check your maps and the signs people! Sadly, I should have known better, since I've been here like a dozen times already. I guess the excitement and the heat got the best of me.

We walked along the mountain dirt road through the conifer forest and as soon as we reached the Feldringalm, we realized we were the first customers of the day, so we ordered a coffee. Next up, a short and steep part of the route that takes you up to the greenest meadows (Feldringer Böden) you've ever seen and Marlstein, where from the one end of the horizon to the other you can see the entire Kühtai mountain range. Epic views.

From there we continued walking along the Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Weg, all the way until the Längental valley and the hut Dortmunder Hütte; Prost! I really needed to dip my legs in cold water after that 10km hike.".
