Kaufbeurer Haus

Kaufbeurer Haus stands at 2007 meters elevation in the northern section of the Hornbach Massif, offering access to multiple mountain peaks and hiking trails.

The German Alpine Club established this mountain refuge in 1905, marking the beginning of structured recreational activities in the Lechtal Alps region.

The hut maintains traditional mountain hospitality practices by providing essential services to both casual hikers and mountaineers traversing the Austrian Alps.

Visitors can access the facility through a 2.75-hour hike from Hinterhornbach or obtain keys from the Alpine Club for weekday entry to the self-catering kitchen.

The refuge connects to several demanding climbing routes, including the Urbeleskarspitze at 2636 meters, which requires technical expertise to reach the summit.
