Kohlrösl hut

The early bird catches the worm - or, in this case, a whole breakfast at the Kohlrösl hut high above the Gitschtal valley. Getting up early is well worth it to see the sun rise from the hut and to enjoy the one-of-a-kind panorama and light. But the hut also warrants a visit later in the day: at lunchtime, visitors may look forward to delicacies from the region, served on the sunny panorama terrace. In the afternoon, there is coffee and cake or a traditional "Brettljause", cold cuts served on a platter. In the evening, try a hearty "Frigga" made from Gailter Almkäse cheese. If you don't feel up to the hike back down to the valley, spend the night in the hut and enjoy one more sunset with far-reaching views across the valley. The view from the summit of Golz mountain is even more breath-taking: Kohlrösl hut is a good starting point for a hike up the mountain, which offers stunning all-round views of the neighbouring valleys. The hut itself dates back to the 1940s, when the building materials were carried up the mountain by mules. Today, the hut has been given a thorough makeover and a new lease of life. The young generations still preserve the customs of old, such as the traditional "Almkirchtag" festival or atmospheric evenings with music and "Schuhplattler" dancing. The Kohlrösl-Buam dance group dedicated itself to "Schuhplattler" dancing as early as 1948 and has handed down its passion for 15 different pieces to their offspring.
