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.

A very nice Malga (a mountain inn) with three rooms and 14 beds. Bookings can be made in advance. The Kaiserschmarrn (sweet pancakes) is highly recommended.

One of the longest funicular railways in the world. It's impressive how quickly the railway climbs the approximately 850 meters.

One of the longest funicular railways in the world. However, everyone wants to get in the front, so the front seats go very quickly. The second or third row is still interesting, though.
