Author’s recommendation
This is a difficult choice! There are two great opportunities to stop for refreshments or a meal on this tour: the Alpine huts Höllentalangerhütte and Höllentaleingangshütte. You might just want to do the tour twice, the second time going in the opposite direction and stopping at the second hut. This route offers so much to explore that it will not be boring the second time round either.
