Moderate

About

Freisinger Hütte sits at 1050m in the Benediktenwand massif, south of Bad Tölz in the Bavarian Alps. Reach it from Benediktbeuren (on the Munich–Mittenwald rail line) by hiking 2.5 to 3 hours via Schönried—a steady climb through forest with good path markings. The hut serves as a base for day trips and as a waypoint on longer traverses of the Benediktenwand.
The hut has 20 beds spread across simple dormitory rooms. Meals are available by advance arrangement; bring your own food or order dinner when you book. The hut is run by DAV Sektion Freising and usually open year-round, though you should check ahead for the winter season. A small shop sells basic supplies and drinks. The location works well for walkers wanting to explore the ridgeline and surrounding peaks without committing to a high-altitude hut.
Book 2 to 3 weeks ahead for weekends and July–August. Contact DAV Sektion Freising directly (check alpine-huts.com for current contact details). The hut fills up during school holidays and when the weather turns good. Arrive by early afternoon if possible; the climb from Benediktbeuren in fading light is slower and less pleasant.
