Adlerhütte

The Adlerhütte sits at 1,260m in the Chiemgau Alps, roughly 90 minutes' walk from the village of Sachrang. The hut sits on the Hochplöa plateau, a rolling high meadow ringed by limestone peaks. Access is straightforward: from Sachrang, follow marked trails through beech forest that opens onto the plateau. The final approach is gentle—most hikers arrive with energy left. Winter access depends on snow conditions; contact the hut before planning December–March visits.

The hut runs year-round and sleeps around 30 people in simple dormitory rooms and a few double beds. Meals are substantial Bavarian fare: hot lunches and three-course dinners with local beer and wine. Showers are available. The hut keeper runs this as a working farm, so the atmosphere is farming community rather than tourist facility. The Hochplöa makes this a natural hub for day hikes across the plateau and into the Kampenwand massif to the south.

Book directly by phone or email, especially for weekends. July and August fill quickly. The hut closes for 2–3 weeks in November for annual maintenance—verify opening dates. Half-board (bed, dinner, breakfast) costs around €60–70 per person. It's a DAV hut, so members receive a small discount. The nearest railway station is Bad Aibling (30km); from there, local buses reach Sachrang.
