Württemberger Haus is a mountain refuge in the Lechtal Alps positioned at 2220 meters elevation with accommodations and meal services for hikers. It sits strategically between Memminger Hut and Steinsee-Hut, functioning as an important waypoint for travelers crossing this Alpine region.
This refuge was built in 1924 by the Stuttgart section of the German Alpine Association to provide shelter for mountaineers in the Alps. It emerged during a period when Alpine climbing was growing and safe accommodations for mountain travelers became essential.
This refuge serves as a meeting point along the European long-distance trail E4, where hikers from different regions gather and experience simple mountain life. Visitors find themselves part of a tradition of Alpine hospitality that has connected travelers across the continent.
The refuge can be reached via multiple routes, including a gravel road from Bach to Madau village followed by a path through Röttal valley. Visitors should prepare with proper hiking fitness and follow marked trails to arrive safely.
The refuge earned the Environmental Quality Seal for Alpine Club Huts in 2019, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable mountain operations. This certification reflects ongoing efforts to balance nature conservation with mountain hospitality.
