Taubensteinhaus
4.3About
Taubensteinhaus sits at 1567m on the Taubensteinalm above Bad Tölz in the northern Bavarian Alps. The approach takes 2.5 to 3 hours from Bad Tölz town center, climbing steadily through mixed forest and open pasture. The trail is well-marked and moderate—no scrambling required. You can also reach the hut in 2 hours from Wolfsratshausen if you prefer a different starting point. The location offers easy access to the surrounding Toelz-Benediktbeuern massif.
The DAV-run hut has 50 beds across multiple rooms and serves simple, hearty food typical of Bavarian mountain huts. Breakfast is available, and the kitchen provides decent vegetarian options alongside the standard schnitzel and stews. The hut has basic facilities: running water, toilets, but no shower. It's open year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk—check ahead if visiting November to March. The hut operates as a working Alpine dairy building, so expect working farm elements in season.
Book direct by phone with DAV Sektion Bergbund. July and August require booking at least 6 weeks ahead; weekends in May, June, and September fill quickly. Winter weekends can book up fast due to limited alternatives in the region. The hut is popular with families and day-hikers from Munich, so expect crowds on fine Sundays. Weekday visits are quieter. Arrive by mid-afternoon to secure good beds and get a spot for dinner.
