Krinner-Kofler-Hütte, Mountain hut in Karwendel range, Germany
Krinner-Kofler-Hütte is a mountain hut in the Karwendel range built entirely of wood, situated at 1407 meters elevation beneath Mount Wörner. The structure contains multiple common spaces and is designed as a low-energy building.
The hut originated as a traditional shelter for mountaineers exploring the Karwendel peaks. Over time it became an established base for routes leading to nearby summits like Soiernspitze and Raffelspitze.
The hut carries traditions of mountain communities where climbers and hikers gather after demanding outings to share their day's experiences. The self-catering model encourages direct interaction among guests who cook and eat together in this remote setting.
Visitors should bring sleeping bags and food supplies since the hut operates on a self-catering basis without a winter room or Alpine Club lock. With 30 beds total, it is wise to check ahead about the availability of basic facilities and conditions.
The hut sits just 100 meters from the Vereiner Alm hunter's lodge and provides access to four marked hiking trails. This proximity to a historic hunting lodge connects alpine hiking with traditional mountain culture at this location.
