Hochleckenhaus, Mountain hut in Steinbach am Attersee, Austria
Hochleckenhaus is a mountain hut located at 1574 meters elevation in the Höllengebirge range. It provides accommodation in five rooms with a total of 45 beds and a restaurant serving meals to visitors.
The shelter was built in 1925 and has served mountaineers and hikers ever since. Over the decades it has become an established stop for those traveling through this Alpine region.
The hut serves as a gathering place for hikers and climbers exploring the surrounding mountains. People come here to share meals and stories after a day of walking in the highlands.
The shelter sits along marked hiking trails and can be reached after several hours of walking from the valley. Check the season before visiting, as the facility closes from October through Palm Sunday.
During winter months a heated room remains open accommodating up to eight mountaineers. This makes the shelter a rare refuge for those traveling in the mountains during the cold season.
