Berghaus Schwaben

Berghaus Schwaben sits at 1513m in the Allgäu Alps, reached from the village of Oberstaufen. The hut lies on established hiking routes through rolling alpine meadow and mixed forest. Most walkers approach from Oberstaufen (about 2 hours on foot) or via the Hochgrat ridge system. The location works as a base for day hikes across the Allgäu or as a stop on longer routes linking the Appenzell Alps with higher Allgäu peaks.
The hut operates year-round and offers simple accommodation in multi-bed rooms. The kitchen serves regional Bavarian food, including hearty breakfasts and evening meals. Tap water is available. The hut has no electricity or hot showers—bring a headtorch. Space runs tight in summer weekends and during school holidays. The atmosphere suits hikers wanting low-frills shelter, not those seeking comfort.
Book by phone direct with the hut. Weekends in July and August fill quickly; call at least 4 weeks ahead for these periods. Mid-week slots and spring/autumn shoulder seasons have better availability. The hut provides little online information, so confirm what meals are available when you call.
