[2] The Anton Karg Haus lies in the upper region of the Kaisertal valley at a spot where the Kaiserbach stream is known as the Hinterbärenbad (see below).

The path to the hut is considered particularly scenic, as the light-coloured limestone rocks of the Kaisergebirge open up increasingly as it progresses, and hiker literally walk into the mountains.

Although the Kaisergebirge are not all that high for the Alps, this route is particularly impressive because of the height difference of 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) between the level of the path and the surrounding peaks.

After the construction of a veranda and the conversion of the second building into sleeping accommodation the Hinterbärenbad Refuge House was open for guests from 1887.

According to oral tradition brown bears, formerly widespread in the entire Alpine region, used to cool themselves here on hot summer days by taking a bath.
