Kienthalerhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The hut was built by the Alpine Society "D'Kienthaler", a section of the Lower Austrian Mountain Association (NÖGV) founded in 1892 (landowner: City of Vienna) and officially opened on September 13, 1896. In 1936/37 the weather shelter was extended. In 1975, much of the retaining wall slid off the hut. This was repaired only in 1977 in laborious work and in 1978 a water supply was made by the Anna source.

The Weichtalhaus (653 meters) is located in the Höllental between Rax and Schneeberg. The three-storey hut is used, among other things, as a training and climbing center for Naturfreunde Wien. The Weichtalhaus is the starting point for over 2,000 routes in the middle of Austria's largest climbing area. The location near the left bank of the Schwarza in the Höllental and at the entrance to the Weichtalklamm as well as diagonally opposite the Großer Höllental is therefore a worthwhile destination for hikers and, above all, for ambitious climbers.

Opening times: Open all year round, closed from April to June, Tuesday & Wednesday. July & September no day of rest, November to March open on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays.

Overnight stay: camp 2 x 24 places, 3 x 8-bed rooms, 1 comfort room for 2 people.

September 3, 2021,Weichtalklamm
At the end of your holiday, a nice climbing tour through the Weichtalklamm to the Kienthalerhütte.
The way back via a beautiful forest path was easy to walk and much easier than the gorge.

Very nice hike through the Weichtalklamm. A little strenuous, and some difficult places to climb, but managed everything without any problems 😊
Back from the hut we chose the little wegerl, that was over in between, but we also found our way back through the forest at some point. 😉
On the way back we did not find the marked …
