Straubinger Haus
4.2About
Straubinger Haus sits at 1,558m on the Große Osser in the Bavarian Forest, roughly 90 minutes' walk from the carpark at Lam. The approach follows well-marked forest trails with steady elevation gain. It's a straightforward day hike from the valley, making it popular for weekend trips and as a base for ridge walking in the area.
The DAV-managed hut has 40 beds across mixed dormitory rooms. Meals are available on weekends and during school holidays; bring a packed lunch on quiet weekdays. There's no shower, but basic washing facilities exist. The hut opens year-round except for short maintenance closures in May and November. Winter access requires appropriate boots and route-finding skills since trails can be snow-covered. Cell reception is patchy on the mountain.
Book directly by phone, especially for weekends and school holidays when it fills quickly. Arrive early on busy days or ring ahead to confirm bed availability. The hut is popular with Bavarian day-trippers on fine-weather Sundays, so Friday and Saturday nights offer more reliable accommodation. Solo hikers should call in advance during quiet periods to confirm the hut is staffed.
