history
The Hofalmhütte was built in 1775 as a dairy for the Spital am Pyhrn Abbey . After the monks had moved to the St. Paul Abbey in Lavanttal , the Spital am Pyhrn Abbey and with it the Hofalm became the property of the Religionsfonds in 1809 . After the religious fund was dissolved by the National Socialists, the Hofalm became the property of the Austrian Federal Forests after the Second World War . In 1887, the Windischgarsten section of the Austrian Tourist Club , founded in 1878, set up a straw-filled mattress dorm for five people for the first time in a room in the Hofalmhütte. After a separate section of the Austrian Alpine Association was founded in Spital am Pyhrn in 1905, the Austrian Tourist Club ceded the area east of the main road to the Spitaler, so the Hofalmhütte was transferred to the Alpine Association.
