Peter-Wiechenthaler-Hütte, Alpine club hut in Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer, Austria
Situated at 1,707 meters elevation, the refuge provides shelter and meals while offering views of the Hohe Tauern and Leoganger Steinberge mountains.
The Austrian Alpine Club constructed this mountain shelter in 1924, establishing a base for mountaineers exploring the Berchtesgaden Alps region.
The facility maintains traditional Austrian mountain hospitality through its regional cuisine and accommodations that serve hikers throughout the climbing season.
Multiple hiking routes lead to the hut, including a moderate 5.3-kilometer ascent from Bürgerau passing the Kühloch cave and Steinalm rest area.
The hut received the Environmental Quality Seal for Alpine Club Huts in 1999, recognizing its commitment to sustainable mountain operations.
