Sulzaustube

Sulzaustube sits at 750m in the Berchtesgaden Alps, tucked into the Sulzau valley south of Bad Reichenhall. The hut is 2 hours on foot from the Karlstein parking area via the Sulzau stream valley. It's a straightforward approach through forest with steady but moderate gradient—suitable for a morning start and early afternoon arrival.
The hut has 50 beds split across several rooms. Meals focus on hearty Alpine fare; book dinner when you reserve beds. The kitchen handles packed lunches for the next day's hiking. Water comes from the stream. There are no showers, so plan accordingly. The hut operates year-round but closing dates vary—check before winter trips. This is a working hut popular with local hiking groups and DAV members, so expect atmosphere and noise on weekends.
Book at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August; spring and autumn can fill too. Contact the hut directly by phone for immediate availability or email for formal reservations. Friday and Saturday nights book solid in summer. Winter weekends also fill quickly with snowshoeing groups. Confirm your arrival time when booking—the hut staff need to know when to expect you.
