The Kenzenhütte ( 1294  m above sea  level ) is a privately operated mountain hut in the Ammergau Alps in the Ostallgäu district .

history

The Bavarian royal family had leased the Kenzen area for royal court hunting since 1799. King Max II of Bavaria had a few simple hunting lodges built on the site of today's hut . One of these buildings was replaced by his son, who later became King Ludwig II , in 1871 with a royal house . The regent regularly visited this hut once a year in July. Despite being well preserved, the huts of the mountain residence were demolished in 1939 and one of the buildings, the so-called brandy burner hut , was replaced by the current building. The only remnant of the original development is a horse stable, which is now used by the mountain rescue service.

location

The Kenzenhütte is located in the center of the Ammergebirge nature reserve , nestled between Kenzenkopf, Hasentalkopf and Grubenkopf. South of the Kenzenhütte is the striking high plateau ( 2082  m ), a little below the Kenzen hunting lodge and a former customs hut, which is now used by the Bavarian Mountain Rescue Service .

Approaches

The Kenzenhütte is accessible via several pick, certainly most comfortable using the regular bus Kenzenbus from the village of Halblech from. It can also be reached via the Maximiliansweg as well as via the Via Alpina (E4) and the hiking trail in the Halhl valley. However, the hut is popular and ideal as a starting point for countless hiking and climbing tours in a part of the Ammer Mountains that has not yet been developed by tourism .
