エブラルンの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

A lovely place to stop for refreshments, and in winter there's a fantastic ice sculpture near the hut. You pass right by it on the way down.

The Ritzinger Hut is an absolute must if you're hiking on the Dachstein. It's a cozy, very clean alpine hut with a very friendly owner (Marianne Gruber). Very cozy, far from any stress of civilization. No internet, no TV, no telephone, but lush meadows, absolute peace and quiet. Bikers welcome, whether for a rest or to spend the night. It's advisable to register early, as there aren't many sleeping spaces. E-bike charging isn't possible, but you'll have to organize that beforehand or for afterward.

From here you can take a road up to Kalteck 1978m and from there take a short walk to the Pleschnitzzinken summit cross 2112m.

Be sure to fill up all your water bottles here! The path up to the Grimming is in the sun and there is no water above. (With luck, there will be a few drops at the Grimmingbrünndl.)

A nice little hut run by the Stainach Nature Friends. Manuela and her husband are friendly hosts. They serve soups and snacks. The parlor has space for around 25 guests. The garden, from which you have a beautiful view over the Ennstal to the Schladminger and Wölzer Tauern, has space for around 90 guests. 20 beds in 3 storage rooms on the first floor. Toilet and washing facilities on the ground floor. Unfortunately, the shower is currently broken. You can only stay overnight on Fridays and Saturdays! A warm meal is cooked for those staying overnight in the evening. And sometimes also for lunch. A beautiful place and definitely worth a visit! I'm sure I'll be coming back more often!

A must on the Dachstein tour is to stop at the Ritzingerhütte otherwise you won't really have ridden the tour :)

In summer it is the starting point or transit point for a whole range of hikes, and in winter some ski tours start here. The house is a success all round: nice atmosphere and service, really very good cuisine, breathtaking panorama. (Note: Tuesday is closing day.)

wonderful, wind-protected sun terrace with a friendly host who serves on the terrace even in winter!
