DAV Three-Lake Route
Three measured stages cross lake and pasture country between two staffed huts—the first proper moderate hut route, with poor-weather variants and a 2027 booking reality stated upfront.

The useful detail
What the trip really involves
DAV presents this as a beginner-oriented T2/moderate three-day route inside a five-calendar-day Antwerp plan, but lower technical risk does not mean effortless: the 14.9 km middle stage is 6.5 hours with 1,207 m of descent while carrying a pack. The stage-card figures below are retained exactly because the page's headline total contradicts them.
Beginner-oriented staffed-hut traverse
- Route type
- DAV Three-Lake Route: three T2/moderate stages between staffed huts, designed for first-time hut walkers and families.
- Calendar shape
- Five calendar days: dated arrival and trailhead transfer; three verified hiking days; dated finish transfer and return. Arrival and finish valley stays remain unselected.
- Verified stages
- 5.7 km · 2.5 h · +609/−317 m; 14.9 km · 6.5 h · +831/−1,207 m; 10.3 km · 4.75 h · +621/−882 m.
- Metric truth
- The stage cards total 30.9 km · +2,061/−2,406 m. Keep those figures rather than the route page's conflicting headline total.
- Room reality
- Schönfeldhütte and Albert-Link-Hütte list twin rooms alongside multi-bed rooms and dorms. A twin request is not confirmed private occupancy.
- Availability
- Schönfeldhütte showed 2026 weekends and many weekdays full; summer 2027 requests open 20 December 2026.
- Fitness
- The 14.9 km middle stage is 6.5 h with 1,207 m descent while carrying a pack. Confirm fitness for that load; T2 describes technical difficulty, not an easy day.
- Weather exits
- DAV publishes poor-weather variants and valley exits. Rail reaches Schliersee/Fischhausen-Neuhaus and local bus serves Spitzingsee; Enterrottach transport remains open.
- Luggage
- Assume full-pack carry on all three hiking days unless a specific storage or transfer plan is researched; no luggage transfer is promised.
- Hut essentials
- Still check dated opening, liner rules, payment or cash, DAV member versus guest pricing, showers, meals and dietary procedure, and cancellation terms.
- Still pending
- Matched hut rooms, arrival and finish valley stays, sole-use terms, meals, exact Antwerp and finish transport, luggage plan, weather recheck and complete cost.
