Reitbichlhütte

Reitbichlhütte sits at 917m in the Benediktenwand massif south of Bad Tölz, on the border between Bavaria and Tyrol. Reach it from Bad Tölz via the Benediktenwand hut trail—a steady 4 hours uphill through mixed forest. The approach is straightforward and well-marked. From here, the hut serves as a base for ridge walks and scrambles across the Benediktenwand group toward the 1,801m summit. Most routes are hiking rather than technical climbing.
The DAV Sektion München und Oberland runs this 50-bed hut year-round. Meals are simple and plentiful: the kitchen serves hot dinners and packed lunches on request. Rooms range from dormitories to a few double rooms. Water comes from a spring; there's no shower. The hut has good views across the Benediktenwand peaks and makes a logical overnight stop between Bad Tölz and higher routes further south. Winter access depends on snow conditions—confirm the status before heading up.
Book direct with the hut by phone or email, especially from May to October when weekends fill weeks ahead. July and August are busy. Weekday visits are easier to accommodate. DAV members get a small bed discount. The hut is popular with Munich-based hikers doing long weekend circuits, so arrive early if you haven't reserved.
