Nestled amid the beautiful mountain scenery of the Allgäu Alps, the Prinz-Luitpold-Haus stands at an elevation of 1,846 meters. It is a mountain hut operated by the German Alpine Club (DAV) and belongs to the Allgäu-Immenstadt section. Built in 1880, the hut is one of the oldest DAV huts in the Allgäu Alps.

The Prinz-Luitpold-Haus has approximately 160 sleeping spaces, including 48 beds. Reservations can be made through the DAV reservation system.

In winter (October through early June), the winter room (16 sleeping spots) is available for self-catering. Firewood and gas for the gas stove are provided. Water can be obtained from the lake’s inlet or by melting snow. Payment is made on site in cash or by bank transfer.

Hallo Annette, der Aufstieg von Hinterhornbach über den Bäumenheimer Weg ist bereits seit 2022 gesperrt (Bäumenheimer Weg gesperrt). Alternativ kannst du über den Fuchsensattel und die Balkenscharte aufs Prinz-Luitpold-Haus gehen.

Hallo Daniela, aktuell sind die meisten Touren zwischen 600-1500m schneefrei. Die alpinen Bereiche über 1800m sind größtenteils noch nicht begehbar. Im Hochgebirge ab 1800m, vor allem nordseitig, liegt viel Schnee. Von Bergtouren oberhalb 1800m wird daher dringend abgeraten. Es sind im Hochgebirge schlechte Bedingungen, meist noch durchgehende Schneedecke. Unterhalb 1800m liegen einzelne Altschneefelder. Durch den Schnee sind die Wegemarkierungen nicht sichtbar, zudem besteht in den Schneefeldern, besonders an steilen Stellen, Abrutsch- und Absturzgefahr! Dies gilt für alle Wander- und Höhenwege, sowie Klettersteige in den Allgäuer Alpen. Eine genauere Auskunft zu den Verhältnissen bekommst du z.B. beim Bergsportbericht: https://www.badhindelang.de/wandern-klettern/bergsportbericht
