Mountain Huts

aka the Adlersruhe (Eagle’s rest) is the highest hut in Austria and the entire eastern Alps. One can only reach this hut over glaciers and some easier rock climbing, and is therefore already a mountaineering objective on it’s own. The views at this location, especially at sunrise and sunset are very memorable and should not be missed. This hut is the ideal place to stay for the final push to the summit of the Grossglockner. Due to the high elevation surrounded by glacier ice, there is no running water at the hut. Make sure you get acclimatized before you spend the night there, otherwise you increase the chance of altitude sickness.
