Erlanger Hütte

The Erlanger Hütte stands against the backdrop of Wettersee lake, offering accommodations and meals for mountaineers traversing the Central Alps Hiking Trail.

Built in 1929 by the German Alpine Club's Erlangen division, this mountain shelter has maintained its original structure while gaining heritage status protection.

The mountain hut preserves Alpine traditions through regional Tyrolean cuisine, preparing meals with ingredients sourced from local farms in the Ötztal valley.

Hikers can reach the hut via an 8.7-kilometer trail from Umhausen, climbing 1558 meters through varied terrain including forests and rocky paths.

The structure received environmental certification in 2000 for implementing sustainable practices at high altitude, demonstrating ecological management in Alpine conditions.
