history
After the First World War , the two mountain huts of the Merano section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club , the Lodnerhütte and the Hirzerhütte , were expropriated by the Italian state and given to the Alpino Italiano Club for guidance. After the Second World War and the establishment of the Merano section of the South Tyrol Alpine Club , the desire arose to build a new hut to replace it. The Meraner Hütte, built with donations during the 1960s, was inaugurated in 1970. It was named after Hermann Gritsch in honor of the deceased AVS section chairman.
Connection
In addition to the connection via many local trails, the Meraner Hütte is a stop on the European long-distance hiking trail E5 and the Sarntaler horseshoe tour .
