About
Hütte Hammer sits at 750m in the foothills south of Bad Tölz, a straightforward base for Bavarian limestone peaks and ridge walks. The hut is accessible by car via forest road from Benediktbeuern, or on foot from the Benediktbeuern area in roughly 1.5 hours. From here you can climb toward the Jägerkarspitz or link into longer traverses across the Benediktenwand massif.
The DAV Sektion München und Oberland operates this small, no-frills hut with basic bunk capacity and drinking water. A kitchen is available for self-catering. The hut opens year-round, making it useful for winter approaches to nearby peaks when snow cover allows. Expect minimal services—this is a working hut for climbers and hikers, not a destination for comfort.
Book directly with DAV München und Oberland. Advance reservation is essential for weekends and summer months. Winter access depends on snow and road conditions; contact the hut or section before planning a trip outside the main season.
