About
Haunleiten sits at 702m in the Benediktenwand massif, southeast of Bad Tölz in Upper Bavaria. The hut anchors the northern approach to Benediktenwand (1,801m) and serves as a base for ridge traverses across the Benediktenwand-Kamm. Reach it from Bad Tölz via the Föhrenbichl trail in 2.5 hours, or from Hinterburg in 1.5 hours. The approach is straightforward forest hiking with moderate elevation gain.
The hut holds 27 beds across multiple rooms. You cook your own meals in the self-catering kitchen and fetch water from the hut's drinking supply. Showers and flush toilets are available. There is no WiFi. The hut operates year-round, though winter conditions may restrict access. It functions as a working mountain refuge rather than a service hut—bring your own food and plan accordingly.
Book directly with DAV Sektion München und Oberland. Winter bookings fill 4–6 weeks ahead; summer weekends book 8–12 weeks in advance. Contact the hut or section office early if planning a July or August weekend. The hut suits self-sufficient parties doing multi-day traverses across the Benediktenwand or using it as an overnight base for alpine routes in the area.
