The Wimbachgrieshütte is a must for hikers! Particularly noteworthy is the incredibly friendly hospitality, which immediately makes you feel welcome. A cold draft beer at a fair price provides refreshment after a long day, and the food is not only tasty but also served in good portions. The rustic menu written on pans fits perfectly with the cottage charm.The overnight stay is typically “hut-like” – simple but cozy, just as you would expect. There are various choices for breakfast, although the price is a little higher for the quantity, which is understandable given the location in the hut. For a warm shower you pay €2 per minute, which is the usual standard in the region. The guest room exudes a familiar and cozy atmosphere that invites you to linger. A small downer is that unfortunately there was no possibility to dry clothes and shoes. Nevertheless, the hut is a wonderful place to stop off after a hike!

To the Wimbachgrieshütte > NO DOGS allowed in the hut - poor performance and very frustrating when you get to the top - it's snowing/raining and you're absolutely soaked and want to warm up and maybe eat something > statement > you can tie your dog outside > running

This was our most beautiful hut on our first hut hike. The welcome was warm and friendly, as was the service in the house. The crumble cakes, whether plum or apricot, are a delight, as is the lentil soup. We felt very comfortable.

I am absolutely disappointed with the service staff. How can you not provide weather and route information to the next hut in a region? Instead of a short information, I was turned away in a MAXIMUM unfriendly way, even though I was the last guest and the staff breakfast had already been completed.Never again. Absolutely horrified.We were then caught in a heavy thunderstorm and hid under a rocky overhang for two hours.
