The Coburger Hütte is a refuge of the Coburg section of the German Alpine Club . It is located in the Mieminger chain in Tyrol and is only a few meters above the Drachensee . The property is usually open from June to early October and a winter room is available.

history

The construction of the refuge goes back to a suggestion made by the Munich mountaineer Ferdinand Kilger in 1890. It was taken over in 1895 by the Coburg section of the German Alpine Club, founded in 1879. The first hut was completed in 1901, and in the following years it received a water connection (the "drinking quality water" was obtained from the Grünsteinsee, which has now dried up), a power generator and in 1908 a telephone line.

After the First World War, the building was expanded for the first time, the material ropeway was built in 1962 and a new sanitary wing was built before the 75th anniversary of the hut. Further renovation and construction measures were carried out in the 1980s, after the responsible district authority in Imst classified the building as dilapidated and at risk of fire, and in the 1990s, when energy and water production as well as sewage and waste disposal were adapted to new environmental standards .

In 2009–2011, the Coburger Hütte was expanded and modernized again. In addition to general renovation work, a new combined heat and power plant and a seminar room were set up.

Ascents

The hut can be reached in several variants directly from the Austrian village of Ehrwald .

High gear

Surefootedness and a head for heights are absolutely essential for the ascent of the Hohen Gang, which leads from Ehrwald to the Coburger Hütte , which is why this variant is only suitable for experienced people, especially as there are only a few wire rope safety devices. The path begins at an altitude of 1100  m and leads - lined with mountain pines - after crossing the Gaißbach to Seebensee . Then there are only 300 meters of altitude to overcome in tight serpentines to get to the hut (walking time 3 hours).

Seeben via ferrata

The Seeben via ferrata , which begins at the Seeben waterfall approx. Hour from the Ehrwalder Almbahn valley station, leads along the Gaißbach to the Seebensee snack station near the lake of the same name. This variant is also only recommended for experienced climbers ( via ferrata difficulty level E), it offers wire rope protection in very exposed terrain. The total walking time is 3 hours.

From the Ehrwalder Alm

The easiest way to reach the hut is to climb over the Ehrwalder Alm ( 1502  m ) from the village ( 1000  m ), whereby the Ehrwalder Almbahn ( 1502  m ) can help to gain altitude. Then you follow mostly small alpine roads and after passing Seebenalm and -see you reach the Coburger Hütte in tight serpentines (2 hours from Ehrwalder Alm).

Immensteig

The Immensteig branches off 300 meters above the valley station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn from the path to the Ehrwalder Alm, first crosses the hay meadows of the Oberen Mähder and finally, partly secured by wire rope, the eastern foothills of the Seebenwand not far from the Immen waterfall. It joins the driveway from the Ehrwalder Alm to the Seebenalm at the Ganghofers Rast shelter. (2.5 to 3 hours)

Other easy opportunities for advancement

From Biberwier via the Biberwierer Scharte ( 2000  m ) in 3 hours or from Obsteig -Arzkasten via the Grünsteinscharte ( 2200  m ) in 4 hours.
