Öchsenberghütte (Touringen Stamping Point No. 95)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Öchsenberg hut is open on Sundays and home-made cakes, coffee, beer and other refreshing drinks as well as fatty bread and butcher sausage are offered. Very tasty after the climb and the magnificent view is definitely worth it!

October 31, 2024,Wanderung zur letzmaligen Öffnung der Öchsenberghütte in diesem Jahr

The Öchsenberg... a mountain with a turbulent history... has a height of 614 m. At the top there is a Celtic cross, erected in 1999. It is intended to commemorate the early settlement 2500 years ago. There is a great view from the summit... unfortunately the weather was grey again...
The Öchsenberg hut was open today for the last time …
