A truly fantastic hut.🏡 The rooms are clean and spacious, and the food is truly delicious. The climb to the hut from the Alpengasthaus Finkau isn't too difficult (short sections are secured with ropes). The easy climb to the Roßkopf peak is possible from the hut; it takes about two hours. Recommended for a day trip or a longer stay. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
