Peering from this vantage point you may wonder, how in the world could anyone access this hut nestled in the Bavarian Alps? By hiking in, of course. There are well over 1,000 such huts dotting the Alpine landscape throughout Europe, most of them built and maintained by private social clubs devoted to climbing, hiking, and other activities in the mountains. These huts allow hikers to light out onto the extensive trail systems, sometimes for days, while carrying as little gear as possible. No need to pack cooking equipment, tents and sleeping bags when you have guaranteed shelter each night, with dinners, breakfasts, and, if you're lucky, a hot shower, included.

The image that we offer you today is the panoramic view of the old town that can be seen from the viewpoint of the Valley, on the other bank of the Tagus. To the right is the Alcázar, one of the most representative buildings in the city, with the Gothic cathedral of Santa María looming on its left. And a little further on, the Jewish quarter, where among other outstanding buildings you can find El Greco's house.
