The hut lies in a narrow defile between the Höllental-Blassen and Waxenstein-Riffelwand crest and is open from the end of May to mid-October. It has more than 80 bedspaces.

History
The category 1 hut was built in 1894 and has had its present appearance since 1925 when it was extended. Since 2004 a completely new hut has been in planning. The cost of construction has been assessed by the German Alpine Club at € 2.3M. The new hut is intended to take the extreme avalanche situation in the Höllental into account. In addition it is intended to expand its overnight capacity. The winter room was closed by the authorities in 2004 or 2005 due to the avalanche danger in winter.
As part of the complete demolition the blockhouse, which is the original core of the hut, will be moved to the garden of the Alpine Museum in Munich.
