Kloaschaualm
3.9About
Kloaschaualm sits at 887m in the Benediktbeurer Land region of the Bavarian Alps, south of Bad Tölz. The hut serves as a base for walks through the Loisach valley and access to the Benediktbeurer Alps. Approach from Bad Tölz via the Sachsenried direction or from the Benediktbeuern side. The walk from Bad Tölz takes roughly 2 hours. This is accessible terrain suitable for families and day-hikers, though mountaineers use it as a starting point for ridge traverses in the Benediktbeurer Alps.
Kloaschaualm operates year-round and offers straightforward alpine accommodation. The DAV-managed hut provides hot meals (order in advance during quieter periods), basic dormitory beds, and cooking facilities if you bring your own food. Water comes from a spring. The hut has no shower. Capacity is modest—plan to share space. Winter access requires appropriate experience with snow and avalanche terrain; snow closes the hut's upper access road from December through March in most years.
Book direct with the hut operator. Contact the DAV Sektion München und Oberland for current details and opening schedules. The hut fills on summer weekends and during school holidays. July and August demand booking 4-6 weeks ahead. May through September and Christmas/New Year periods see the heaviest use. Call or email to confirm bed availability and meal service before arrival.
