Dr.-Friedrich-Oedl-Haus, Mountain refuge at 1575 meters in Werfen, Austria
The Dr.-Friedrich-Oedl-Haus stands near the upper station of the Eisriesenwelt cable car, providing direct access to the largest ice cave system in the world.
Construction of the mountain house began in 1922 under Dr. Friedrich Oedl's direction, with initial dining facilities opening in 1924 and sleeping quarters completed by 1926.
The refuge serves as both a research base for cave explorers and a meeting point for mountaineers investigating the Tennengebirge mountain range.
Visitors can reach the house via gondola from the Eisriesenwelt parking lot at 1000 meters or through a 90-minute hike on a rocky trail.
The house features a panoramic terrace offering views of both the High and Low Tauern mountain ranges while providing access to multiple mountain hiking connections.
