Location
The Kaindl Hut lies in the western part of the Kaiser on an Alpine meadow, the Steinbergalm, and at the foot of the Zettenkaiser, Scheffauer and Hackenköpfe mountains. North of the Kaindl Hut is the rather unimpressive Gamskogel (1,448 m) and the wooded ridge of the Brentenjoch. The hut is located in the Wilder Kaiser nature reserve.

Approaches
There are several possible approaches to the Kaindl Hut:
The chair lift to Brentenjoch, from where the hut is reached in 40 minutes with little elevation gain, was closed in 2012 but re-opened in May 2015. The journey takes about 20 minutes and takes passengers to a height of 1,200 m.

Tour options
To the north is a gently sloping valley bowl, that is surrounded by rolling grass-covered mountains (‘’Grasbergen’’). Here there are many scenic and easy walks. Destinations, which can be taken in as part of a full day’s round trip, are the Brentenjoch, Gamskogel and Brandkogel. To the south, by contrast, are the jagged rock faces of the Wilder Kaiser.
