The Wangenitzsee Hut (German: Wangenitzseehütte) is a mountain hut in Hohe Tauern National Park, in Carinthia, Austria. It is situated directly on the Wangenitzsee, the largest lake of the Schober group of the Eastern Alps. At an altitude of 2,508 metres (8,228 ft) above sea level (AA),[2] it is the highest hut in the Schober group.[3] Depending on the weather, it opens in the middle of June and closes at the end of September. It is located on the Wiener Höhenweg [de],[2] and is supplied by a material ropeway from the Debanttal.[1][4]
