Blecksteinhaus

The Blecksteinhaus is a mountain hut (Schutzhütte) of the Sektion Männer-Turnverein München (M.T.V. München) of the German Alpine Club (Deutscher Alpenverein, DAV). It stands at 1,060 m above sea level in the Bavarian Prealps, south of the Spitzingsee in Bavaria, Germany. The hut was built in 1927 by the M.T.V. München section and has served ever since as a base for hikers, mountain bikers, skiers and ski tourers exploring the Tegernsee and Schliersee mountains and the neighbouring Tyrol region. The Blecksteinhaus is a staffed, year-round mountain hut with 18 beds and 26 dormitory places in rooms that have been completely redesigned. It is operated by a tenant, the Majumdar family, and offers food and drink, including a cheese buffet and a Bavarian buffet. Its location about 30 minutes' walk south of the Spitzingsee makes it an easy destination even for families with children, and luggage transport is arranged. In winter, a cross-country ski trail runs directly past the house, and the Spitzingsee ski area and classic ski tours such as the Rotwand-Reibn are nearby. As an Alpine club hut, the Blecksteinhaus is not a conventional commercial hotel but a facility of the DAV section, open to members and the public. It is a starting point for numerous walks and summit climbs, including the Stolzenberg, the Bayerischer and Österreichischer Schinder, the Rotwand, the Roßkopf and the Bodenschneid, and it connects to neighbouring huts such as the Albert-Link-Hütte and the Kaiserhaus. The hut's official website provides information on the house, rooms, prices and catering.

The Blecksteinhaus was built in 1927 by the Sektion M.T.V. München (Männer-Turnverein München) of the German Alpine Club. The section erected the hut as a traditional Alpine club house (Alpenvereinshaus) in a scenic location about 30 minutes south of the Spitzingsee, in the valley of the Rote Valepp. Since its construction it has been operated as a mountain hut for hikers and mountaineers, and it remains a facility of the same DAV section. Over the decades the hut has been maintained and modernised. According to its official website, the rooms have been completely redesigned, and the house is staffed year-round with 18 beds and 26 dormitory places. It is run by a tenant, the Majumdar family, who provide catering including a cheese buffet and a Bavarian buffet. The hut's location makes it a starting point for walks in the Tegernsee and Schliersee mountains and into neighbouring Tyrol, and in winter a cross-country ski trail leads directly past the house. The Blecksteinhaus remains an active Alpine club hut and a well-known destination in the Spitzingsee area.
