Kreuzwiesen Alm

Kreuzwiesen Alm sits at 1925m in the Bavarian Alps. The hut works as a base for hikers exploring the limestone terrain between the Königssee and the Berchtesgaden area. Most people arrive on foot from the valley; approach times vary between 2–4 hours depending on your starting point. The hut is accessible year-round by mountain bike on certain routes, though hiking dominates access during summer months.
The hut holds 40 beds across multiple rooms. Meals are available daily, with dinner and breakfast included in most overnight packages. The kitchen caters to vegetarian diets if you request ahead. Facilities include a communal lounge, small bar, and basic shower blocks. Water comes from mountain springs. The hut operates year-round, though weekend staffing and meal service depend on advance bookings during shoulder seasons.
Book direct with the hut by email or phone—contact details are on their website. July and August fill 4–6 weeks ahead; June and September book 2–3 weeks out. Winter bookings (December to February) require confirmation at least 10 days before arrival. The hut accepts half-board (bed plus dinner and breakfast) and also rents beds to hikers doing self-catering. Arrive early in the day if you're not pre-booked; bed availability on a walk-up basis depends on overnight traffic from longer routes passing through the area.
