Bergheim Maria Trost

Bergheim Maria Trost sits at 1,123m in the foothills south of Bad Tölz, accessible by car via the Benediktbeuern road or on foot from Benediktbeuern village in 1.5 hours. The hut works as a comfortable base for day hikes into the surrounding Benediktbeuren Alps and Loisach valley terrain. Reach it from Benediktbeuern by following marked trails upslope through mixed forest—straightforward hiking, no scrambling required. The location is low enough to access year-round but high enough to serve serious walkers planning longer ridge traverses in the region.
The hut accommodates 24 guests across 6 private rooms and dormitories. Meals include substantial dinners and hearty breakfasts. The kitchen provides packed lunches on request. Hot showers, drying rooms, and a small lounge are standard. Open year-round except brief maintenance closures—check before traveling in winter. The hut is run by the DAV (Deutscher Alpenverein), so membership brings a modest bed discount.
Book directly by phone or email at least 2 weeks ahead, especially for weekends and school holidays. July and August fill quickly. Winter weekends draw snowshoers and cross-country skiers, so advance booking matters then too. The hut lies within easy striking distance of Munich, making it popular for groups—confirm availability early if traveling with a party larger than 6 people.
