The Otto Mayr Hut is an Alpine Club hut belonging to the Augsburg section of the German Alpine Club . It is located in the rear Reintal in the Tannheimer Mountains , a subgroup of the Allgäu Alps , in the municipality of Musau in the Reutte district in Tyrol .

history

The hut was built in 1900 by the Augsburg Section under the direction of its chairman Otto Mayr and opened on July 8, 1900. In order to minimize costs and working time, at the German Sports Exhibition in Munich in 1899, a “model house for mountaineers” based on a wooden structure was bought, dismantled into individual parts and transported by train to the Tannheimer Berge, where the parts were then at the planned location in a short time were put back together.

The first extensions to the accommodation followed as early as 1903, and more in 1909. In the 1970s, due to the strong increase in visitors, it became necessary to set up a biological sewage treatment plant. In 1987 the building was completely renovated.

Ascent

There are various ways to get to the Otto Mayr Hut:

  • Direct access is from the valley town of Musau ( 821  m ) on a small mountain path to the armpit , from which you have a beautiful view of the Lech Valley. From there you can take forest roads over the Musauer Alm (refreshment stops) to a junction, from which a path leads to the hut (total walking time about 2 to 2½ hours).
  • From Grän (1138 m) in the Tannheimer Tal you can get to the hut via the Füssener Jöchl ( 1818  m ). The ascent can be shortened by using the cable car to the Füssener Jöchl (total walking time about 2½ hours without or about 1 hour with use of the cable car).
  • A forest road leads from Vils ( 826  m ) to the Vilser Alpe ( 1225  m , refreshment stops). From there you can take a mountain trail over the Vilser Scharte ( 1815  m ) to the Otto Mayr Hut. In front of the Vilser Scharte, the path is secured with ropes and two ladders and is only recommended for sure-footed mountaineers (total walking time approx. 3½ hours).

Tours from the Otto Mayr Hut

Some of the surrounding peaks of the Tannheimer Berge can be climbed from the Otto Mayr Hut. For children from the age of six, for example, the Große Schlicke ( 2059  m , walking time: 1½ hours) is suitable. Another summit destination is the Schartschrofen ( 1968  m , walking time: 1½ hours). Challenging tours are the ascent of the Roten Flüh ( 2111  m , walking time: 2 hours), the Gimpel ( 2176  m , walking time: 3 hours) or the Gehrenspitze ( 2164  m , walking time: 3½ hours). The highest mountain in the Tannheimer Berge, the Kellenspitze ( 2238  m ), can be reached in four hours.
