It would be nice if a small repair was done before everything collapses.

The Kulmspitze is a 1095 m high mountain above the Mondsee in the Upper Austrian Salzkammergut. A wooden observation tower was built on its summit in 2019. The Kulmspitze is the highest point of a ridge that extends west to the Mondseeberg.

The hut provides a glimpse into the simple life of earlier times, something one can hardly imagine today. A look inside the hut is possible. Next to it, two crosses with inscriptions commemorate accidents during forestry work.

Your gaze wanders across the wonderfully green alpine meadows to the breathtaking mountain panorama – from rolling hills to the rocky giants in the distance.

The path is hard to find, everything is overgrown and unkempt

Unfortunately, the grass was head-high today, making the path heavily overgrown. Still, it's a worthwhile hike. True, the view isn't particularly good...but a small platform to climb onto at the summit would be enormously worthwhile, with the view of Lake Attersee, Schafberg, and Dachstein.

These huts were once built by lumberjacks the day they arrived at the logging site. They weren't designed to last, but had to be erected quickly. The lumberjacks stayed in the forest the entire time, as a daily trek would have taken too much time and energy. They slept and cooked there. For dinner, they usually had a stew made of flour and bacon, and if they were lucky, a few mushrooms if they could find any.
