Edmund-Probst-Haus, Alpine club hut at 1930 meters in Oberstdorf, Germany

The Edmund-Probst-Haus sits at 1930 meters elevation between Oberstdorf and the Nebelhorn peak, offering 58 dormitory beds and 32 individual beds for guests. The refuge has dining areas and common rooms for visitors using it as a base for mountain activities.

The refuge was founded in 1890 and became a key base for alpinists exploring the high mountains of the Allgäu region. Over time it expanded to accommodate more visitors while maintaining its role in mountain exploration.

The hut is named after Edmund Probst, the section chairman of the Allgäu-Immenstadt branch, who died in 1918; before that it was called Nebelhornhaus. Its position beside the Höfatsblick station of the Nebelhornbahn, opened in 1930, means day visitors from the cable car pass through as well as overnight guests. The building has been enlarged repeatedly, so some now call it a mountain house rather than a hut.

You can reach the hut on foot from Oberstdorf by hiking approximately 7 kilometers with about 1100 meters of elevation gain. Plan to start early in the day and bring proper hiking boots and enough water for the climb.

The hut was opened on 25 May 1890 as the Nebelhornhaus, the 33rd shelter of the Northern Eastern Alps, and was renamed in 1918 after Edmund Probst, the section chairman who had died. Since 1930 the Nebelhornbahn cable car has stopped at the Höfatsblick station directly beside the building.
