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.
