Ennstalerhütte

Young at heart

The date 1885 is inscribed in vintage letters above the door. Ennstalerhütte is the oldest hut in the Gesäuse and it will make you want to prolong your stay beyond a single night. From Gstatterboden or from Erbsattel, the route leads through a forest, across meadows and pastures, past butterflies, cows and seas of flowers all the way up to the rustic hut. Have a snack (or perhaps a full meal), digest and relax on the comfy deckchairs and soak in the alpine air.

Then decide whether you want to hike up the Tamischbachturm or whether you just stay in that position for a bit. There are peaks waiting for you the next day.

Time for bed

The Ennstalerhütte is old. Its inhabitants are young. And accordingly pleasant is the atmosphere you meet here. There is a mattress dormitory with compartments and storage rooms. Everything is decorated in a lovely way. So that you immediately feel comfortable and would like to stay several nights. The same feeling arises at dinner or breakfast, which is also gladly served through the window directly from the kitchen to the outside.
