Höllentalanger Hut

Höllentalanger Hut, Alpine club hut in Wetterstein Mountains, Germany.

The Höllentalanger Hut is a German Alpine Club shelter at 1,387 m in the Wetterstein Mountains, in a narrow defile between the Höllental-Blassen and Waxenstein-Riffelwand crests. The 2014–15 replacement building has an unconventional mono-pitch roof instead of a gable, designed for the valley's heavy avalanche risk. It has more than 80 bedspaces and is staffed from late May to mid-October.

The Munich section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club built the first Höllental hut in 1893/94; the blockhouse opened on 16 June 1894 with 6 mattresses and 16 hay beds on 40 m². Extensions in 1907, 1925 and 1954 followed, and the hut kept its 1925 appearance until it was demolished in September 2013. The replacement opened on 23 August 2015; the old blockhouse was rebuilt at the Alpine Museum in Munich and shown to the public from March 2017.

The hut is run by the Munich section of the German Alpine Club and open from late May to mid-October. Its name comes from the Höllentalanger, the meadow floor of the narrow Höllental valley between the Blassen and Riffelwand crests. The original 1894 blockhouse, the hut's "Urzelle", was rebuilt at the Alpine Museum in Munich and opened there with its historic furnishings in March 2017.

The lodge is reached by well-marked trails from Hammersbach and Obergrainau through the Höllental gorge, each path taking around two and a half hours on foot. Both approaches are steep and require sturdy hiking boots and a steady footing on mountain terrain.

The original blockhouse, the hut's 1894 core, was dismantled during the 2013 demolition, rebuilt on the grounds of the Alpine Museum in Munich and opened there with its historic furnishings in March 2017. The new hut, opened on 23 August 2015, has an unconventional mono-pitch roof instead of a gable, designed for the heavy avalanche risk in the Höllental.
