Above the Pfronten district of Kappel lies the Hündeleskopfhütte, the first vegetarian mountain hut in the Alps.
Here, guests are treated to regional foods from organic farming. Fresh, classic Allgäu home dishes are always prepared, such as Kässpatzen, Krautkrapfen, soups, Käspressknödel, or simple fine vegetable fried potatoes. Additionally, a warm vegan dish is offered daily. The popular Vegabrot with homemade vegan spreads and crunchy vegetable sticks is always on the snack menu. Depending on the season, fresh colorful salads are also available. The hut also offers homemade cakes (including vegan ones). And for those with a sweet tooth, Kaiserschmarren is always a possibility, depending on availability. For musical guests, an accordion, guitar, and double bass are available. Dogs are also welcome at the Hündeleskopfhütte.

Hikers can reach the Hündeleskopfhütte on foot from all directions in just under an hour. Once at the top, a fantastic mountain panorama unfolds, from the pre-Alpine landscape to the Allgäu, Tannheim, and Ammergau Alps.
