The story of the „Holzknechthütte“

The forest workers - in Carinthia mainly lumberjacks – spent a whole week in the woods. Up to the middle of the last century, lumberjacks would walk on foot to the far-away working places. As they made this trip only once a week they needed an on-site place for cooking and sleeping. These were the simple lumberjack huts. Made of bark, they offered protection from wind and weather. The food prepared on open fire was simple, healthy and good.
