Edmund-Probst-Haus

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 brings together hikers and climbers from around the world who share meals and stories in its dining room. Local dishes and the communal atmosphere make it a meeting place where mountain traditions are lived daily.

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 operates on seasonal schedules that follow the mountain weather patterns, closing during late autumn and spring when conditions make it harder to reach. This seasonal rhythm means the hut caters to winter and summer mountaineers at different times.
