Kranzlerhütte
5.0About
Kranzlerhütte sits at 1205m in the foothills south of Holzkirchen, roughly 40km south of Munich. The hut serves as a base for day walks and longer routes into the Mangfall Range. Approach from Holzkirchen town on foot via marked trails—allow 1.5 to 2 hours. The location is accessible year-round on foot, making it useful for weekend trips from the city.
The hut has 40 beds split between private rooms and dorms. The DAV section Alpenkranzl Holzkirchen runs it as a straightforward mountain hut, offering evening meals and breakfast. Facilities include a common room, basic toilets and washrooms, and a small bar. The kitchen caters to hikers with hearty food rather than fine dining. The hut opens year-round but staff levels vary with the season—check ahead for winter visits.
Book direct with the hut by phone or email. Winter weekends fill quickly, so contact at least 2 weeks ahead. Summer demand is lighter. DAV members get small discounts on bed rates. The hut has no website, so a phone call is the quickest way to confirm availability and meal options.
