Grüntenhaus, Mountain hut in Burgberg im Allgäu, Germany.
The Grüntenhaus sits on the southern slope of Grünten mountain at 1535 meters elevation and has room for around 37 guests. The hut is a traditional Alpine shelter with basic, practical rooms for overnight stays.
The Grüntenhaus was founded in 1854 and has served as a stop for mountain hikers and nature lovers in the region since then. This long history makes it a fixed part of the Allgäu mountain landscape.
The hut is run by the Egenrieder family and preserves the tradition of Allgäu mountain culture. Visitors experience regional food and the way mountain hospitality is practiced in this region.
The hut can be reached on foot in about 1.5 to 2 hours from the base of the mountain via a well-marked trail. The hut is open year-round, but it is wise to check ahead whether the path is passable in winter due to snow or poor conditions.
Near the hut are abandoned mining areas where visitors can explore the history of ore extraction in Burgberg. These historical mines offer an interesting insight into an almost forgotten industrial activity of the region.
