General Info

The Obstansersee hut is situated directly on the northern banks of Obstanser lake. If you’re not starting out your Karnischen Höhenweg journey from Leckfeldalm, you can also reach Obstansersee from Kartitsch.

Lose yourself here in the breathtaking views to some of Austria’s highest peaks, including Grossglockner and the Sextner Dolomites (30 min walk).

KHW 403

The hut itself is a perfect start point for several more difficult tours, including “Pfannspitze” at 2.678 m ( 1 hour walk). The high altitude landscape encompassing the lake and beautiful mountains also makes for a memorable getaway for families with kids. The area is also popular in winter for ski touring.

Next Stage

The next stop on the KHW journey is the “Filmoor-Standschützenhütte”. This hut is located 6 kilometers from Obstanserseehütte. Allow around 3 hours hiking time.
