The crest of the Blauberge, which runs for about 4 kilometres in a west–east direction, forms the border between Austria to the south and Germany to the north.

The southern flank of the Blauberge is covered by mountain pine right up to the crest; the considerably steeper northern slopes have a more rocky character.

The hut belongs to the German Alpine Club branch at Kaufering and is managed during the summer offering overnight stops.

A signed hiking trail runs along the crest of the Blauberge that enables the entire massif to be traversed.

The path climbs from there via Siebenhüttenalm and through the Wolfsschlucht to the saddle between Schildenstein and Predigtstuhl and is secured by cables in places.
