Bivouac hut and Birkarspitze

No joking - no biking - no paraglide launching and landing... but you can cross country ski, large group trekking, cross country crossing, go hunting, mountain bike the trials, drive thousends of peoples with hundreds of buses into the Hinterautal, race with your motorbike in the valley, drive elektro bikes like on a german Autobahn on the Tirol Bike Trial, daily drive in with cars, trucks, (name it) to ensure supply of all the huts with food (needed to keep the business going for all those people shoveled in with the tourist buses, ..., ..., ... , .... and we need signs on bivouac huts ! ;-)
