The Ennstaler Hütte is an Alpine Club hut belonging to the Steyr section of the Austrian Alpine Club (ÖAV).

Location and surroundings

It is located in the Buchstein group, the northern mountain range of the Ennstal Alps in the Gesäuse National Park at an altitude of 1544  m above sea level. A. on the ridge between the Tieflimauer ( 1820  m ) in the west and the Tamischbach tower ( 2035  m ) in the east. The hut is on the Eisenwurzenweg , an Austrian long-distance hiking trail that connects St. Gallen and the Erbsattel ( 671  m ) in the north with the village of Gstatterboden in the Gesäuse . The hut's local mountain is the Tamischbachturm, which is one of the easiest to reach Gesaeuse peaks.

history

The hut was built in 1885 by the Viennese Alpine Society "Ennstaler". At that time it was the first refuge in the Ennstal Alps. In 1924 the hut was taken over by the Steyr Section and expanded in 1930.

ways

Approach

The ascent to the hut is either from Gstatterboden in the Ennstal in around 2½ to 3 hours, or from Sankt Gallen and the Erbsattel (near Schloss Kassegg ) through the Mühlbachtal in also 2½ to 3 hours or from Großreifling through the valley of the Tamischbach in around 2½ hours . Since 2004, mountain bikers have been able to cycle from Gstatterboden to the Hochscheibealm at around 1200  m , which means that the ascent to the hut is shortened to one hour. From Hieflau , an ascent via the Hochibenalm is possible in five hours.
