Hiking up to Tutzinger HĂĽtte cabin near Benediktbeuern

After a around two-and-a-half hours of hiking from the station you will reach the rustic Tutzinger HĂĽtte cabin.
Discover destination

The Tutzinger HĂĽtte cabin is in the Bavarian Prealps at the bottom of the North face of the Benediktenwand ridge and impresses with tasty snacks and cosy rooms for the night.

Cabin "Brunnenkopf"

Cabin "Brunnenkopf" has everything you need to relax and unwind: a picturesque backdrop and proximity to the wide-open sky.
Discover destination

The BrunnenkopfhĂĽtte cabin is extremely popular with hikers because of its Kaiserschmarrn (a local shredded pancake dessert). This is because the landlady Irmi always prepares it freshly according to her secret family recipe. While parents can relax and enjoy a beer after their meal, children can admire, stroke and feed chamois buck Maxl, the cabin mascot, outside. Anyone who fancies livening up the cabin with a bit of music can simply ask the cabin manager Norbert Misniks for an accordion or guitar.

In addition, the Füssener Hütte cabin is in an area with no phone reception, which means you can quickly forget daily life. Above all if you spend the night there – there are 65 spaces to sleep.

Cabin "Tegelberghaus"

A cabin for the heart: Cabin "Tegelberghaus" offers splendid panoramic views and delicious food, and is also the ideal starting point for setting off on a hike.
Discover destination

The Bednar family provides everything you need to feel comfortable and happy in the Tegelberghaus cabin – the schnitzel portions are huge and it's cosy and warm in the shared bedrooms. And if the weather gods are kind, you can get a clear view of Neuschwanstein castle on the house for free. By the way, the mountain cabin also has a royal background – Maximilian II stayed here during his numerous hunting trips in the mountains.

A wonderful group excursion to Vorra. Perfect for a little break in a large group: the Falkenberghaus cabin stands in a forest above the idyllic Pegnitztal valley.

Trip to Kösseinehaus cabin in the Fichtel mountains

A wonderful trip: Kösseinehaus cabin has been enticing hikers to the Fichtel mountains since 1903.
Discover destination
