Mountain route to the Dr. Heinrich-Hackel-Hütte in the Tennengebirge/Werfen
The Dr. Heinrich-Hackel-Hütte at 1,526 m entices with great regional and homemade dishes, friendly hosts, and a sensational view of the main Alpine ridge (and on clear days even up to the Großglockner). Those who want can stay overnight here and aim for higher goals or walk a bit further to observe marmots.
The route to the Hackel-Hütte offers something suitable for every demand. Those who prefer a short route reach the alpine hut at 1,526 m in about 1.5 hours. Along the way, there are also fairy tale stations where the legend of the three towering peaks of the local mountains is told in 8 stages. Upon arrival, you can enjoy great regional and homemade dishes with a sensational view of the Alps.
The hut is also easily accessible with children and offers a great sunny terrace with a wide view and good regional cuisine. Those who want can also spend the night here and climb the surrounding peaks, take a detour to the Brandstättalm to observe the marmots living there (bring binoculars!), or continue to the Bischlinghöhe and descend to Werfenweng.

Directions
The hike from Wengerau is the easiest and shortest way to the beautiful alpine hut, but it leads partly quite steeply over scree ground through the forest uphill. From the parking lot, follow the signs to the hut on path no. 51.
