Almdudler Mountain Cabin Challenge
The Belvedere Stations present themselves as an alternative and reinterpretation of the constrictive mountain huts, aimed at the reflective and philosophical present-day individuals.
Once you reach one of them you may relax and savour the surrounding nature from atop the platform with unique panoramic views. The Alpenverein acquires and places such stations along the mountain tracks, for the tourists' enjoyment.
You may even purchase a Belvedere Station to have it placed on your lakeside property for example, where you could spend the warm summer day fishing and later cooking what you have fished, alone or with friends. If the weather is particularly fine, you could extend your stay into the evening and even the night, to communicate and observe the starlit sky.
