Anton-Schosser-Hut

The Anton-Schosser-Hütte sits at 1,157m in the Sengsengebirge range, a limestone massif that rises steeply from the Enns valley in Upper Austria. Reach it from Großraming village via the Großraming Gorge trail, a 2-hour hike following the river through narrow rock passages and beech forest. The gorge walk is spectacular but exposed in places—wet rocks are slippery. Alternative approach from the south via Kräuterin adds 3 hours. The hut serves as a base for ridge walks toward Hochmölbing (1,537m) and for exploring the surrounding karst terrain.
The hut offers 50 beds across simple dormitories and a small number of private rooms. Meals are basic Austrian fare: lunches on request, hearty dinners most evenings. The attached restaurant opens to day visitors on weekends and holidays. A small shop stocks emergency supplies. There's an outhouse and washrooms with cold water; do not expect showers or central heating. The hut operates year-round but reserve ahead in summer and autumn for weekend visits. The setting is remote and genuinely quiet.
Book direct by phone or email 6 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. Winter visits require prior arrangement since water and heating become difficult. The hut staff respond slowly to online booking requests—calling is faster. Day visitors can usually walk in without notice outside peak season. Check their opening hours before heading up the gorge.
