Τα 20 καλύτερα καταφύγια Semmering

I stopped by again today and enjoyed my lunch on the bench in front of the hut.

The Rax Mountain Inn is located right next to the mountain station of the Rax cable car and is a popular starting point for hikes on the Rax Plateau. On the sun terrace, you can enjoy regional specialties while taking in the views of the Vienna Basin and the surrounding peaks. It's an ideal starting point or rest stop before continuing on into the mountains.

The Otto-Haus on the Rax (1,640 m) is one of the most traditional huts in Vienna's local mountains. It offers a cozy stop with regional delicacies and a large sun terrace. From here, you can enjoy a magnificent panorama across the Rax plateau to the peaks of the surrounding Alps—a perfect starting point or rest stop for your tour.

The hut will reopen its doors at the end of March 2025 after the winter closure.

The Waldburgangerhütte is a cozy place to stop off in the middle of nature. Surrounded by idyllic forests, it invites hikers and cyclists to take a well-deserved break. Here you can enjoy regional specialties in a relaxed atmosphere and take in the tranquility of the surroundings. A perfect stop for a rest on the tour!

a real highlight of a hut. Maria and her sister run the house, where her father grew up as a mountain farmer's boy and went down to school and back up again every day. We were a group of over 50 people and were allowed to arrive one day before the official opening of the autumn season, if we helped in the kitchen and service, which we did happily and energetically :-). You must try the baked dessert, a hit that you can't get anywhere else. At the end we yodeled with the two host sisters - together with members of the group who can sing. Wonderful as a break after the steep climb from Payerbach on the way to the Haller-Haus (Knofelebenhütte), because after that it's just a flat walk across the alpine plateau to the Hallerhaus.

good cuisine

We were here in winter, with a bit of snow. The large pane is certainly very beautiful at other times of the year too. At the top you have a great view of the Rax.
