Reached fame through being on a National Geographic cover. Since then, it's one of the most iconic spots in the Alpstein.

Photography Tips

There is that one iconic photo from that one iconic viewpoint at which you will find the crowds. However, try to find new perspectives as shown in the photo. Tip: Go in moody weather conditions as the hut gets even more interesting when moody and you are most likely going to beat the crowds.

Travel Information

Parking is available at Wasserauen. From there, you can take several options up. Besides the classic hiking paths from the valley, the fastest way is to take the cable car up to Ebenalp and hike down to Aescher. After passing the famous Wildkirchli, you will see the iconic hut in front of you.
