Selected alternatives for you
The ascent from Berg to the Compton Hut is not very demanding, as it mostly follows the gravel road. About halfway between Ebenberg and the hut, at around 1250m, you can switch to the very scenic Reissgrabensteig. Here you hike through the (in good weather) dry ravine directly to the hut, which is located in front of the Reisskofel.

The hiking trail to the Eduard Theodore Compton Hut is a gentle ascent starting from the Drava Valley slowly heading towards the Reisskofel. If you choose the Reisskofelsteig, you move through an untouched and untamed nature, because during heavy rain the Reissgraben lives up to its name and wild torrents flow to the Drava. Then the ravine becomes a dangerous environment that changes its face. On beautiful summer days, however, the Reissgraben appears calm and shows a hidden piece of nature that seems unaffected by human intervention. Upon arrival at the dreamy Compton Hut, you can relax on the terrace on the north side of the impressively towering Reisskofel in the background and enjoy homemade specialties.

Safety information
The Reissgrabensteig is, unlike the road, a trail that requires sure-footedness but is not exposed.Roadbook
From the Berg im Drautal bus stop, we walk along Amlacher Landstraße heading south. Stay on this road as it makes a distinct left and then immediately a right turn. Yellow signs point the way here. The gentle ascent to Ebenberg then follows along the road; be careful not to turn off. Ebenberg itself consists of only a few houses. Follow the road until the Reissgrabensteig turns left in a right-hand bend. If you prefer, you can continue along the road, which leads straight to the hut as well. The trail ends directly in front of the hut.
