Bodenschneidhaus

Bodenschneidhaus is a mountain hut (Schutzhütte) operated by the Sektion Bodenschneid of the Deutscher Alpenverein (German Alpine Club), with the section's seat in Munich. The hut stands at 1,353 m above sea level on the Rettenböckalm in the Schliersee Mountains, part of the Mangfallgebirge range within the Bavarian Prealps, in a quiet alpine area between Tegernsee and Schliersee below the summit of the Bodenschneid. It is a hospitality and accommodation brand of the DAV section, offering overnight stays and restaurant service to hikers, climbers and day guests. The hut's origins trace to 1906, when the Sektion Alpenclub München of the DuOeAV purchased a small alm. A new main house was completed in 1916. After the Sektion Würmgau joined the DAV, the section was renamed Sektion Bodenschneid (seated in Munich) of the DAV. The main house was extended upward in 1960 and 1965. The Bodenschneidhaus was comprehensively renovated in 2011 and in 2024 received the environmental seal of approval for Alpine Club huts for its environmentally sound supply and waste disposal. As a commercial hospitality offering, the Bodenschneidhaus provides 48 sleeping places across 5 twin rooms, 2 twin rooms with bunk beds, 1 triple room, 3 five-bed rooms and 16 dormitory places (an 8-bed dorm with row beds 5 + 3 and an 8-bed dorm with bunk beds). Overnight stays are possible without DAV membership. The restaurant serves regional dishes daily, with Weisswurst and Brezn on weekends. The hut is open daily from 9:00 to 22:00 without a rest day, and it hosts events such as family celebrations, birthday parties, workshops, team-building and the popular "Stubenmusi" folk music evenings. Bookings can be made via the DAV reservation portal (credit card required) or by telephone. The current hosts are Nadine and Detlef Wildenheim. Access routes include from the Spitzingsattel (1,128 m) via the Obere Firstalm (1½ hours), from Fischhausen-Neuhaus (790 m) through the Dürnbachtal (1½ hours), and in winter from the car park in the Breitenbachtal (Schliersee/Breitenbach, 2 hours). The hut serves as a base for summit climbs to the Bodenschneid (1,668 m, 1 hour), Brecherspitz (1,684 m, 1½ hours) and Stümpfling (1,506 m, 1½ hours), and for transitions to the Albert-Link-Hütte (2½ hours).
