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!
