My wife an I are planning a European vacation in mid-May for
about two weeks. I lived in Bavaria for 18 months as a child,
so we will be going to see that area and, because they're so
close by (about a two hour drive from Augsburg, my childhood
home), we will be going through the Alps toward Zurich through
the Innsbruck area.

I have heard a little about a series of guest huts that are
maintained by retired couples in the Austrian Zillertal area
of the Alps (just south and west of Innsbruck). Apparently, they
are placed within a comfortable day's hike (not climb, I am
told--but an easy HIKE) of one another, and offer genuine
Austrian cuisine and hospitality at a very reasonable rate,
including, if you wish, a private room with feather beds,
and more. Sounds very nice, and certainly off the beaten
path, so to speak (hopefully).

I would be most interested to hear from anyone else who might
have any additional information on these huts.

After our trip, I will be happy to post my experiences
if there's any indicated interest same. Don't worry--
they'll be brief!
