The Heinrich-Kiener-Haus is at an altitude of 1,800 meters. Surrounded by the alpine pastures of the Hochgrüneck, a breathtaking view awaits you here - one of the most beautiful in all of Austria, they say. The house is widely known for its overwhelming panoramic view over the Salzach Valley with the Hochkönig, Tennengebirge and Berchtesgaden Alps, the Hohe Tauern with the Großglockner, the Dachsteingebirge and up to the Carinthian peaks. Sunrise and sunset are a special experience here. And of course the managed hut also invites you to a cozy stop.

St. Vincent's Peace Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The hut keeper of the Heinrich Kiener House, Hermann Hinterhölzl, has erected the St. Vinzenz Friedenskirche near the hut. The timber construction stands on a place that can be described as a place of power. On the way from the Heinrich Kiener House to the Church of Peace you circle the church and look in all directions.
