As a pioneer base, the Krefelder Hütte was built over a hundred years ago. Expanded and renovated piece by piece, it is today a modern mountain hut, which could preserve its charm despite all the renovations.
On the spacious and ever so-popular, sunny terrace you can experience beautiful moments and enjoy the special dishes from the kitchen.
