Very nice hut, good food. A bit crowded but it was a nice weekend.

Commentaires personnels

The climb from Vent to Martin-Busch-Hütte feels very long (7km)... It's only 600m height difference on the map, but it goes up and down a bit, and it's just one really long traverse that blisters the ankles (as you're always on the same side)
