Located on the Venediger Höhenweg. The house is owned by the ÖAV, Baden near Vienna section. If you are not on the Höhenweg, you must plan a long walk of five to six hours through the Froßnitztal as a day guest. The day can be short. It is best to plan an overnight stay.
The construction of the hut goes back to an initiative in 1908 by Ralf Malcher (1880–1957), co-founder of the Baden (near Vienna) section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club (DuOeAV), which was re-established on February 3, 1905, and future first hut warden, as a result of which the shell of the hut was built by a construction company at its camp site in Mödling in 1910. A year later, the building was transferred to its current location, completed on October 11, 1911, opened on July 1, 1912, and inaugurated (at the start of a three-day festival) on August 5, 1912. On August 4, 1914, operations were suspended until further notice due to the war. After the military closure in 1915, the hut was repeatedly broken into; the paths in the hut area had partially fallen into disrepair. In 1926, the unmanaged Badener Hut offered ten mattress dormitories. In 1927, the property was free of encumbrances.
In 1950, the Baden section of the German Alpine Association (DAV) became the Baden branch of the Austrian Alpine Association (ÖAV). In 1970/71, the winter hut was built (to accommodate up to eight people); in 1982/83, several additions and extensions were removed from the main building and replaced by a spacious porch that was more beneficial to the overall appearance. Between 1995 and 1998, the guest room was gradually enlarged, the drinking water supply was rebuilt in accordance with the authorities' requirements, and a small power plant was created for the electricity supply; a small sewage disposal plant followed in 1999.
