Mountain hikes Anna Schutzhaus on the Ederplan

Difficulty ratings: easy
Route length: 21 km
Duration: 9:00 h

The Anna-Schutzhaus on the Ederplan - never heard of it? Our insider tip in the easternmost part of East Tyrol is a real feel-good place in autumn, surrounded by golden-yellow larches and with a view of the (Lienz) Dolomites.

Tour character

Easy hike on undemanding forest paths up to the Anna refuge. From the valley, with an altitude difference of almost 1,300 meters, this is an above-average distance for a hut trail, but can be shortened by starting at the intermediate saddle. From the hut, a short detour to the summit cross of the Ederplan with a beautiful panoramic view is worthwhile. The hut is a feast for the eyes, with brilliant food and the best views (open until the end of October).

Starting point is Görtschach, some 1.9 km to the east of Dölsach. Leave the main road to Lienz (junction at Dölsach swimming pool) and get to the towns of Gödnach and Görtschach. Past the fire station, the road climbs to Brennerhaus, No. 14 (Schranken). The route branches out on several occasions, but signposts show the way.

From the rustic benches at the Anna Schutzhaus bothy you can take in the fantastic views from the Carnic Alps to the Lienz and Sexten Dolomites, right to the middle summits of the Schober group. All the names of the summits have been listed on the panoramic information boards, skilfully crafted in wood.
