About
Ludwig-Plötz-Haus sits at 1182m in the Bavarian Alps and serves as a base for hiking and mountaineering in the region. The hut is accessible via hiking trails from the surrounding valleys—most approaches take 2–3 hours depending on your starting point. The DAV Sektion Alpenland manages the hut as part of the broader network of Bavarian Alpine Club refuges.
The hut provides basic mountain accommodation with drinking water available on-site. It functions as a simple mountain shelter rather than a full-service alpine hut, making it suitable for self-sufficient hikers and climbers who carry their own food and sleeping gear or use it as a waypoint on longer routes. The hut operates seasonally during the main hiking and climbing season.
Contact the DAV Sektion Alpenland directly for current opening dates, capacity details, and booking procedures. Mountain huts in this region book up quickly during July and August, so reserve at least 6–8 weeks in advance if you're planning a summer visit. Check the hut's specific contact information through the DAV website or the alpine-huts.com directory before your trip.
