Location

edit

The hut lies at a height of 1,854 metres[2] in a cirque hollow by a small mountain lake between the summits of Henne and Wildseeloder above the village of Fieberbrunn in the Pillerseetal valley. It is a base for numerous mountain hikes in the eastern Kitzbühel Alps. The house lies opposite the Loferer Steinberge range and overlooks its southern rock faces.

History

edit

The Wildseeloderhaus was built in 1891/1892 as a joint project by the Fieberbrunn Section of the OeAV and the Fieberbrunn Tourist Association. Since 1899 the Alpine Club has been the sole owner of the hut. In 1963, the ruined chapel was rebuilt and, in 1970, the hut itself was modified and extended. A further modification was carried out in 2008.[1]

Facilities

The hut has two double bedrooms, two four-bed rooms, a 12-man mattress room and a 16-man mattress room.[1]
