Alte Prager Hütte

The Alte Prager Hütte stands at 2,489 meters elevation in the Venedigergruppe mountain range, offering views of the surrounding Eastern Alps peaks.

The Prague section of the Austrian Alpine Club built the original structure in 1872, which was later destroyed by an avalanche and reconstructed in 1877.

The building functions as Austria's highest-located museum, presenting exhibitions about Alpine history and mountain hut development through the centuries.

Visitors can access the museum from mid-June to mid-September, while the facility also serves as a research base for Hohe Tauern National Park.

The reconstruction between 2017 and 2019 returned the building to its exact 1870s specifications, following the original plans by Johann Stüdl.
