The most famous photo spot in Tyrol might be a small suspension bridge in the Zillertal. Not far from the Olperer Hut, the small bridge captivates hundreds of mountain hikers every day. No wonder, the most-shot picture with the elongated Schlegeis reservoir and the Hochfeiler massif in the background fits perfectly into the smartphone format in portrait mode.

Although you are standing only a few meters above a mountain stream, the picture background with the reservoir and mountain massif has an impressive effect.

A shot from the right angle, looks like you're floating on the bridge in the middle of the picturesque Tyrolean mountains. One you are there, be sure to make the most of it. Mountain Moments will help you plan your next mountain photography adventure — *A shot from the right angle looks like you’re floating on the bridge in the middle of the picturesque Tyrolean mountains.

Photo tips that will make your Instagram pop – the Schlegeis reservoir and the Hochfeiler massif

The small suspension bridge east of the Olperer Hut with a view of the elongated Schlegeis reservoir and the Hochfeiler massif is the most popular photo spot in the Zillertal. A person on the bridge works particularly well here. To the shimmering blue of the reservoir contrasts a red or yellow outfit.

The tour is popular and in nice summer weather, it gets crowded here quickly during the day. Equally beautiful is Friesenberg Lake at the house of the same name. An overnight stay at the Olperer Hut or the Friesenberg House is recommended. — The tour is popular and in nice summer weather, it gets crowded here quickly during the day.
