Eckberthütte, Mountain hut in Werfen, Austria
Eckberthütte sits at 1140 meters elevation in a mountain valley surrounded by three major Alpine massifs and provides basic overnight lodging. The building contains fifteen dormitory rooms and a dining area where guests gather.
The hut was built as a resting point along a major hiking route through the Austrian Alps. This route has become one of the country's principal long-distance paths and attracts many walkers yearly.
The hut serves regional dishes from the Pongau area that hikers discover along their mountain routes. The simple, welcoming way meals are offered reflects the traditional spirit of the mountain region.
Advance booking is necessary since rooms fill quickly with hikers using the route regularly. It helps to plan your arrival time and check what facilities are offered so there are no surprises.
Guests sleep in traditional hay beds, an old sleeping method that has disappeared from many modern mountain huts. This experience connects history with the smell and feel of the Alpine landscape in a direct way.
