The air is clear, temperatures are pleasantly mild, and many hiking trails are significantly quieter than in summer.<\/p>\n As specialists for hiking and hiking holidays in the Zillertal, we particularly recommend spring in Hintertux. Especially now, sunny hikes, clear mountain air, and relaxed moments of enjoyment on the alpine pastures can be harmoniously combined \u2013 naturally including all hiking extras at the hotel (such as free rental of hiking poles, daily guided hikes with a nature park guide, personal hiking advice…).<\/p>\n And honestly: what would a spring hike be without something sweet in between? Many Tux alpine pastures serve traditional Tyrolean pastries and homemade cakes daily, like a wonderfully fragrant apple strudel. We’ve already shared our personal favorite recipe for Tyrolean apple strudel on the blog, by the way (read more here).<\/p>\n However, since the popular strawberry season in Tyrol begins in May, this time we want to introduce a slightly more modern recipe idea that is very popular with many young Zillertal residents: fruity strawberry cupcakes with fresh Tyrolean strawberries. Light, summery, and just right for the sweet side of a hiking holiday in Hintertux.<\/p>\n Updated on 2026-05-26<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div> When spring slowly becomes noticeable in Hintertux, for many, perhaps the most beautiful time for hiking begins in the Zillertal.

\nA particularly popular treat for young and old is the strawberry! The juicy, aromatic red berry is best eaten immediately, but is also very popular as jam or as a cake topping. The strawberry, botanically speaking actually an aggregate fruit, is rich in vitamin C and minerals and, on top of that, has hardly any calories.<\/p>\n<\/div>Did you know that people already ate wild strawberries in the Stone Age?<\/h2>\n
