It is located in the Mieming Range in the Austrian state of Tyrol and lies only a few metres in height above the lake of Drachensee.

[1] From 2009 to 2011 the Coburger Hut was again extended and modernised; alongside general renovation work, a new heat and power station (Blockheizkraftwerk) and a seminar room were installed.

To negotiate the Hoher Gang, which runs from Ehrwald to the Coburger Hut, sure-footedness and a head for heights are absolutely essential, which is why these variants are only suited for the experienced, especially as it is only protected by cable in some places.

The route starts at a height of 1,100 m and runs – fringed by mountain pines – after a crossing of the Gaißbach stream to the lake of Seebensee.

It initially crosses the hay meadows of the Oberen Mähder and then the eastern foot of the Seeben rock faces not far from the Immen Waterfall on a route that is protected by cable in places.
