Stöffl Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Rustic hut with home-brewed beer and wheat beer. The Kaiserschmarrn is highly recommended, as is the Kaspressknödelsalat (only if you are very hungry).

May 22, 2023,Mtb-Tour zum Hintersteiner See 🌤 24 Grad

Today, the magical mountain lake, idyllically situated at almost 1,000 m, was the destination of a beautiful afternoon tour. The route could be driven up on the west side in a relaxed manner because, apart from a few 🚗 and individual hikers/cyclists, there was no encounter traffic. The main road to the lake via Scheffau could be driven relaxed in …

Used the last day of vacation 😥😭 again to approach the Hintersteiner See from the back. Very nice to drive, very varied. It's unbelievable how many beautiful little trails there are, there's always something new to discover. Arrived at the apartment at the beginning of the rain. The best opportunity to pack your bags, unfortunately. After 6 days in the …

This round has it all, but without diligence there is no gain. A great area, strenuous climbs and a super rustic Stöffelalm awaits at the finish.

Great tour to the Walleralm. A break at the summit cross and a sunbath of the finest kind. Back via the HintersteinerSee, always worth a trip. Another great autumn day.

Beautiful tour on the south side of the Kaiser.
Top uphill to the Stöfflhütte and then wonderful to the Hintersteiner See. Cake and wheat beer at the legendary Jägerwirt.
Finally, beautiful short S1 trails to the Haflingertränke.
Dream day.

August 11, 2022,Scheffau-Walleralm-Hintersteiner See 🚲🍻🥳

Beautiful mountain tour with the EMTB. From Scheffau in the direction of Söll, around the Achleitberg and then tidy up to the Walleralm. At almost 1200m then a nice cold drink with a wonderful panoramic view over the mountains. Then continue to the Hintersteiner See to bathe your feet a bit and then back to Scheffau. That was the first …
