The three-meter bear statue is not for the purpose of keeping watch in front of the field hut, but as an indication of the nearby Bear Cave, which owes its name to numerous finds of cave bear bones. However, it is not the only reason for the climb to the 1,023-meter-high "terrain" at the western end of the Hohe Wand. The self-made must of the Postl family should be mentioned as well as the 360-degree panoramic view over the southern Vienna basin to the Pannonian lowlands.
Opening Hours: from Easter - June 30th and August 16th - November 30th each Saturday, Sunday and public holiday
Overnight (beds / bins): Overnight only for groups with about 15 people possible.

The striking three-meter-high bear statue in front of the hut is a reference to the nearby bear cave, which is known for its numerous finds of cave bear bones. But the region has much more to offer: at an altitude of 1,023 meters, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view, homemade cider and the warm hospitality of the Postl family. The hut is open on weekends and public holidays during certain seasons and offers groups the opportunity to stay overnight. Guests praise not only the spectacular view, but also the good food and the popular cherry liqueur.
