Summit house in Mittenwald: Finally open to hikers again!

Hope is emerging for the Kranzberg summit house in Mittenwald, which has been closed for over eight years. Progress has been made in new discussions between the owner and the community, bringing the return of the popular mountain inn for locals and guests within reach. The building committee has already given the green light and we are now waiting for final approval from the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district office. The mayor, Enrico Corongiu, expressed optimism about the submitted plans, which provide for a restaurant and 28 overnight places on the ground floor merkur.de reported.

The summit house, which is located at an altitude of 1,350 meters in the Wetterstein Mountains, is perceived as a central attraction for hikers and nature lovers. Under the current plans, a revision and approval of the planning application is required, as construction has been halted in the past because work was carried out without the necessary permits. With the new application submitted on December 3, 2024, there is now the possibility that the hut will be able to host guests again in the near future. The building, known for its friendly atmosphere and easy accommodation, is to be revitalized with a new concept almen-und-berge.de.

The Kranzberg summit house is not only an important place for hikers, but also an important part of the cultural landscape in the region. With a variety of food options and a welcoming atmosphere, it could soon become a central meeting point in the mountains again. Mayor Corongiu emphasizes that the hut is of great importance for the community and reminds that the previous construction requirements have now been implemented. The approval of the district office now stands between the hut and its reopening, which would bring joy to both locals and tourists.
