hüttenrunde

First of all: The route presented here is only one of many, a suggestion that can be flexibly modified and varied according to individual ability and preference. Styrian cherry picking, if you will. And the first raisin is at 1,523 meters, at the foot of the mighty Reichenstein. Dark wood paneling, green shutters, Kasnocken - welcome to the Mödlingerhütte! History then blows around your nose at the second raisin: the Hesshütte is located at 1,699 meters on the Ennsecksattel, in the middle of the Hochtor Group and in the immediate vicinity of Königin Hochtor, the highest peak of the Ennstal Alps, Planspitze and Hochzinödl. An institution founded in 1893 on the initiative of the "Alpine Society D'Ennstaler". This is the original cell of the Alpine Club, initiated by Gesäuse father Heinrich Heß. It is to him and his "D'Ennstalers" that we owe the network of trails in the Gesäuse - and the Hess Hut, which preserves a worthy memory with its name.
