history
The Eisenkappler Hut was built between 1951 and 1954 through the joint efforts of the Section and the Eisenkappler Mountain Rescue Service . It was created as the successor to the Rainer refuge located just below the summit .
Rainer shelter
The Rainer protection house was a former Knapp home of local lead mining, the trades gave Viktor Rainer the section following the closure of mining. The hut housed the highest meteorological station in the monarchy until the Zittelhaus was built in 1886 , for which a telegraph line was built in 1882. In 1891 the measuring station was expanded to include the Hannwarte on the Obir summit. In 1908 the hut was expanded. In 1944 the hut, which was used by the Wehrmacht as an air defense observation post during World War II , was cremated by partisans .
