Stöffl Hut

October 22, 2025,Hintersteiner Seenrunde von Schwoich 🇦🇹

A very nice hike. A must-do! Kaffma Alm (a mountain hut). Run by competent ladies with a highly skilled cook. Iris and I recommend the spinach cheese dumplings in nut butter: mmmmmm! That's powerful! The last part should definitely be completed before sunset. It's a tedious scramble down a steel staircase! So, folks! Keep going!

The Stofflhütte is highly recommended! Own beer and delicious Kaiserschmarren, hikers what more could you want.
