The approach to the Lienzer Hütte is a learning experience in itself: the path is a learning trail teaching adults and children alike about the nature here at the end of the Debanttal Valley with its flower-filled meadows and thundering stream. The walk begins at a large car park and takes around one hour. The hut itself lies at the foot of several 3,000m mountains and sleeps around 100 guests. The food is healthy and hearty. The hut is open from early June until early October.
