About
The Neue Bonner Hütte sits at 1,713m in the Salzburg Alps, on the main ridge between Untersberg and Hochkönig. Reach it from Marktschellenberg in Bavaria (30 minutes drive from Salzburg) via the Kingdom trail, which takes 2.5 hours to the hut. Alternatively, approach from the Austrian side via Elsbethen and the Hochkönig massif. The hut's position makes it a natural break point on ridge traverses and a base for day walks across the limestone plateaus.
The Neue Bonner Hütte is managed by the German Alpine Club (DAV) and has 40 bed spaces in simple dorms and a few private rooms. The kitchen serves hearty Alpine food at lunch and dinner—order meals when you book. Water comes from the hut's own source. Facilities include pit toilets and a small communal lounge with views across the Salzburg region. The hut opens Easter through October, with reliable staffing May through September. Winter access is possible but weather-dependent.
Book direct by phone at least 2–3 weeks ahead during July and August. June and September see lighter traffic. The hut fills quickly on weekends in summer and during school holidays. Confirm opening dates before traveling in shoulder season. Half-board (bed and dinner) is the standard arrangement here—come prepared for a cash payment.
