Berghütte

A Berghütte, or mountain hut, is a small, often rustic shelter located in mountainous regions. It provides accommodations and basic amenities for hikers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Typically built with local materials, Berghütten serve as a resting spot or overnight lodging in remote or alpine areas, offering protection from the weather and a space to enjoy natural surroundings. They vary from simple shelters to more developed lodges, often managed by local clubs or organizations, and are an integral part of mountain tourism and outdoor activities in regions like the Alps and other highland areas.
