Paula Hut
Highlight • Mountain Hut
The hut on the Maurerberg was once a refuge for shepherds and farmers. Today, the hut, situated at 1008 m above sea level, is a popular destination for hikers and mountain bikers who, weather permitting, enjoy the view all the way to Lake Constance.
In 1857, Jakob Marock, who had served as the provisional forest and game warden on the Maurerberg for three years, was permanently appointed at the request of the provincial governor in Vienna. At the beginning of his official term, he likely built the hut as a hunting lodge and shelter. It was originally known to the local population as the "Kälble" hut, as shepherds and farmers sought refuge there from both cold and rain.
Over the years, the hut has been altered several times. For example, in 1979, Rudolf Marxer demolished the hut and rebuilt it from the ground up in its original style. A major renovation took place around the turn of the century, after Richard Hönighaus from Zurich leased the hunting rights on the Maurerberg. In 1905, the cabin, which the new owner dedicated to a woman named Paula, was officially inaugurated. Since there were several women named Paula in Hönighaus's circle, it remains unclear to this day which of them he dedicated the cabin to.
