Location[]
The hut stands west of the Zellersee and Zell am See's local mountain, the Schmittenhöhe (1,965 m), below the Hahnkopf.[1] The hut lies in a large forest clearing just south of the Kessel wind gap (Kesselscharte) on the eastern section of the Pinzgau Ridgeway (Pinzgauer Spaziergang) on long distance trail 02A, only 1½ km as the crow flies from the summit of the Schmittenhöhe and its upper cable car station.
