At and in front of this bridge you can take great pictures of the Zillertalbahn. If you're lucky, the steam locomotive will come.

And the battery is still at 54%😂
At the Hirschbichl Alm there were delicious spinach dumplings for the main course and apple strudel for dessert. 😃😃

Lunchtime on the Zirmstadel at 1800m above sea level. Food simply excellent and inexpensive. We were able to charge our batteries here, otherwise it would probably have been tight.

Today with a little shortcut at the height. I briefly left the Höhenstraße and saved me 150hm over a forest path. But it wasn't a good idea, since there was a brutal incline and there were also one or the other sign with crossed-out wheels (I then pushed dutifully). Nevertheless, a great tour with nice weather today 🙃
