Alpe Hohenschwand, Mountain hut in Allgäu Alps, Germany.
Alpe Hohenschwand is a mountain hut in the Allgäu Alps located at 961 meters elevation, offering accommodation and meals to hikers. The hut sits at the intersection of several walking routes that connect different areas of the mountains.
The hut was established by the DAV section SSV Ulm and has developed over the decades into an important stopping point for mountain hikers. Its story is closely linked to the growth of hiking culture in the region.
The hut serves as a gathering place where hikers and mountaineers naturally meet and exchange experiences while taking part in the region's traditional alpine way of life. Here, people's connection to the mountains shows itself through everyday conversations and shared routines.
The hut can be reached on foot from the bus stop but requires about 40 minutes of walking. During dry seasons parking is available nearby and several hiking trails lead directly to the location.
Visitors can complete a large circular hiking route of more than 20 kilometers that connects with the Imbergbahn and Hochgratbahn cable cars. This allows flexible options for combining cable car rides with walking sections.
