museum in Dienten am Hochkoenig

Grünegghut

The Grunegghut is a historic farmhouse museum in the Hochkoenig area above Dienten am Hochkoenig in the Salzburg Alps, preserving an example of the traditional alpine farm building type that characterized the high pasture settlements of this range.

The Grunegghut farmhouse museum above Dienten am Hochkoenig preserves a traditional alpine farm building from the Salzburg Alps, with the working tools, sleeping arrangements, and household equipment of a family that farmed the Hochkoenig flanks from the 17th to early 20th centuries. Small admission fee; open seasonally. Dienten is 20 minutes by bus from Bischofshofen and sits in the shadow of the 2,941-meter Hochkoenig summit. The building’s interior density, everything compressed into a small structure built for alpine survival rather than comfort, is what makes it worth visiting.
