About
Schönfeldhütte sits at 1,410m in the Benediktenwand massif south of Bad Tölz. Reach it from the village of Benediktbeuern in 3 hours on foot via the Benediktenwand trail, or from the Sachenbach valley in around 2.5 hours. The hut serves as a base for ridge walking across the Benediktenwand-Bräuningstand complex and access to the surrounding Isarwinkel peaks. The approach is steady but relentless uphill; start early if walking from the valley.
The hut holds 36 beds in mixed and family rooms. DAV Sektion München runs it with straightforward alpine hut meals: hearty dinner, packed lunch options, and breakfast. Showers are available—unusual for a hut at this elevation, worth planning around if you're coming from a multi-day tour. The hut opens year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and you should confirm before attempting December to March trips. Phone ahead to check staffing in shoulder seasons.
Book directly by phone with DAV Sektion München for weekends in summer (June through September). July and August require booking 4-6 weeks in advance. Weekday visits outside school holidays rarely need advance notice. Bring cash for the hut itself, though they accept cards for larger bills; confirm payment methods when booking.
