The Kienthalerhütte is a refuge of the “Alpine Society Kienthaler” section of the Austrian Tourist Club on the Schneeberg .

location

The Kienthalerhütte is located to the east at the foot of the 1416  m high tower stone, which can be climbed using a via ferrata with a difficulty level B , on the southwestern Schneeberg at the end of the Weichtal and above the Höllental .

history

The hut was built by the alpine society "D'Kienthaler", a section of the Lower Austrian Mountain Association (NÖGV) founded in 1892 ( basic owner : City of Vienna ) and officially opened on September 13, 1896. In 1936/37 the weather shelter was expanded. In 1975, a large part of the retaining wall in front of the hut slipped. This was painstakingly restored in 1977 and in 1978 a water supply line was installed from the Anna spring.

Alpine Society Kienthaler

This association was founded in 1892 as the "Alpine Society D'Kienthaler" and was a section of the Lower Austrian Mountain Association (NÖGV) based in Vienna. In 1898 the association left the NÖGV and was independent until 1938, when it was forced to join the German Alpine Association . In 1946 it joined the Austrian Tourist Club and was renamed “Alpine Society Kienthaler, Section of the Austrian Tourist Club”.

The Ferdinand-Mayr-Weg is named after Ferdinand Mayr, who was chairman of the association from 1893 and worked for almost 40 years. This leads from the end of the Weichtalklamm, about 200 meters altitude below the Kienthalerhütte, on the west side of the Weichtal back to the entrance of the Weichtalklamm (Weichttalhaus).
