>>2564315Not too far off, ironically. It was built by the berlin alpine association in the late 19th century. Since it was considered representative for berlin and germany, it is quite luxurious for that. The patrons definitely do go out though, since there's basically nothing else to do in the area and the road is not open for general traffic.
>>2568947German-speaking alpinists call any simple sleeping place in the mountains a hut (because they usually are an actual hut). Some include restaurants or hotels, most don't. They have certain ways of doing things that differ from normal hotels, because usually they cannot be accessed with a car (many have simple lifts though). This hut happens to have a hundred beds, but it's still a hut.
