About
Untere Haushamer Alm sits at 1,520m in the Benediktbeuren range, south of Bad Tölz. Reach it from Benediktbeuern village in 2.5 hours heading south through Sachenbach and the Lainbach valley. The trail is steady forest walking with minimal elevation gain. In summer, a rough road reaches partway up, reducing the hike to 1.5 hours from the road end. The hut serves as a base for climbs into the surrounding limestone peaks.
The alm is a simple, traditionally-run operation offering basic accommodation and meals. Drinking water is available on-site. The hut operates year-round but check ahead for winter availability, as staffing varies. Capacity is modest—typical of Bavarian alms rather than major DAV huts. Expect communal dining and straightforward Bavarian food. Facilities are functional rather than luxurious. The setting suits hikers and mountaineers who value access and simplicity over comfort.
Book direct by calling ahead in peak summer months (July–August). The hut gets steady weekend traffic from Munich day-trippers and multi-day hikers. Weekdays are quieter. Winter visits require confirmation of opening. Credit cards may not be accepted, so carry cash.
