When friends of mine invited me to “Hütte am Weg” I would never have expected what I found: Not the rather simple, shabby hut, its name implies, but a rather romantic, stylish place with down to earth food and affordable prices.
Arriving at the Kahlenberg (check the Kahlenberg article) with the huge parking space, you have to know where to go next: A little arrow gives you the direction. Follow the small path to an old looking hut. The first impression might be deceptive. Take a closer look and you´ll see the beautiful garden or smell the freshly grilled trout.
The inside of the hut is even more surprising: It is stylish, modern mixed with traditional parts. There are candles on each table, flower arrangements, a box of citrus fruits in front of the fireplace – everything is well put together. The waitresses wear tasteful “uniforms”, some Austrian Dirndl with a modern touch. With all that you might expect exquisite prices on the menu, but – sorry – another mistake: The dishes such as Sauerkraut, dumplings, sausages, (mashed) potatoes and meat are quite cheap. The variety on the menu, which changes every few weeks, is not the best, but it is enough and really good.
What used to be an old hut providing rest during a tiresome excursion is now, after the re-opening in autumn 2008, really a wonderfully romantic and stylish place – highly recommended not only after a hiking tour.
