It was a family-friendly hike! We headed toward the Aibl Wirt, then to the Hahnhofhütte, had lunch, and then to the Klugbauer!

Certainly the best cuisine on the Reinischkogel - always seasonal delicacies. Reservations ABSOLUTELY necessary!

Down-to-earth cuisine, including home-bred highland beef on the menu. From here as a starting point, you can easily reach the Reinischkogel summit cross in around 1.5 hours.

Simply hiking boots and hiking poles are worth recommending! The restaurant was closed when I went hiking.

The hut is only open Thursday to Friday, but you will be spoiled with delicious food and cake. There is a lovely terrace in front of the inn to relax on. Top 🔝There are so many things that fit together in this beautiful place...

Open from Fri-Mon 9am-7pm - looks unspectacular, but has simple but very good food and very friendly hosts. And next to the building there is a great view

I got there quite early, so I still got a seat. If there were several people, I would make a reservation.
