    Old hut that was in use until the beginning of the 20th century. There are ongoing projects to build a new hut here.

      The hut was used in the war, then as a customs hut, and in recent years it has stood empty and fallen into disrepair. Detailed information is available on site. Good view from up there,

        At the end of the war, Italian Alpine soldiers captured the Helm. Although the Sillian section was able to initially regain the hut after negotiations with the military, with the final demarcation of the border on October 26, 1920, the Helmhaus was now located on Italian territory and became property of the Italian state in 1925. Since then, the border has run directly along the north wall of the building. In the following decades, the hut was initially used as a customs house, later falling into disuse, and has belonged to the province of South Tyrol since 1999.
