Reintalanger Hut


The Reintalanger Hut is an Alpine Club hut in the Wetterstein Mountains at the head of the Reintal valley. The River Partnach has its source in the vicinity. West of the hut the valley floor climbs steeply up to the plateau of the Zugspitzplatt below Germany's highest mountain.
The hut belongs to the Munich section of the German Alpine Club and the administrative district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It was built in 1912 and is a Category 1 hut.
The house has 132 bedspaces and is managed from the end of May to mid-October.

History

The use of the pasture of the Reintalangeralm is discernible as early as 1485. It was often used by Tyrolese subjects from the Leutasch, who drove their cattle there via the Ehrwalder Gatterl.

Description

The hut sits above the wide, rock-strewn riverbed of the Partnach at a height of around 1,370 metres in a "glorious location with magnificent views" of the Gatterlköpfe, Plattspitzen and Kleinwanner. By tradition, overnight visitors are roused by a musical wake-up call.
