Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte

From the Franz-Josefs-Höhe it is no great distance, by way of the much fissured Hoffmann Glacier, to the last accommodation for climbers, the Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte on the imposing Adlersruhe (3,454m/11,333ft), the highest mountain hut in the Austrian Alps. The Oberwalder Hütte (2,793m/9,754ft), on an island of rock in the upper reaches of the Pasterze glacier, can also be quickly reached from the Grossglockner Road.
