New Reutlinger hut, Alpine mountain hut in Silbertal, Austria
The New Reutlinger Hut sits at 2,395 meters (7,856 feet) in the Verwall Alps where the Nenzigast, Gafluna, and Pfluntal valleys meet. The facility provides 12 sleeping spots in shared quarters, with cooking equipment, gas stoves, cookware, and water from a nearby stream.
The Reutlingen section of the German Alpine Club founded this mountain refuge and later named it in honor of Walter Schollkopf, their former chairman who led its reconstruction. The hut's development reflects the growth of organized mountaineering in the alpine region.
The hut brings together climbers and hikers from different backgrounds who share a passion for mountaineering. It serves as a meeting place where visitors from neighboring regions naturally connect through their love of alpine exploration.
The hut is best reached with proper mountain gear and experience navigating alpine trails at high altitude. Visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions and bring adequate supplies from lower elevations.
The hut earned the Environmental Quality Seal for Alpine Club Huts in 2020 for its commitment to sustainable practices in high-altitude operations. This recognition highlights its leadership in eco-conscious mountain refuge management.
