Florian and Meike are just 28 and 25 and manage one of the oldest alpine refuges in Austria's mountains. The two revealed to "Bergkrone" how they manage the big challenges. 

High up in the Zillertal Alps (Tyrol) sits the Berliner Hütte, a magnificent alpine building from another era. Once equipped with a telegraph station, bakery and shoemaker's workshop, Berlin's mountain-loving high society used to reside here.
