The history of the Wolfbauern-Hochalm

It is believed by locals that the alpine pasture was originally higher than today and was reduced to today's Hüttstatt at 1482 m above sea level due to a lack of water. Since this question could not be clarified during an inspection on 10 August 2005 between Hüttstatt and the higher Antoniboden, some topographical considerations for a possible higher position of the alpine pasture should be mentioned here. Today's Hüttstatt lies at 1480 meters above sea level very deep in the high forest zone. The small free space was beaten out of the forest. All around is only forest pasture. Only 120 m above sea level is the first free pasture area, the Antoniboden, located at 1600 meters above sea level. On this levelling, an artificial layer of stone can be seen, presumably a hut with a pedestal roof. The deepest point of the Antoniboden is formed by a striking rock doline, whose half-cave under a horizontal ca. 10 m high rock face also has ice in summer, an ideal ice cellar. A few meters east of the Antoniboden at the same height is the small hunting hut of the Stmk. Forests of the country.
