The historical wooden hut originates from the nearby Gleirschtal valley in the Karwendel Nature Park and previously served as a home for loggers. Today it houses a modern exhibition on the use of wood, both historical and in the present day, on the lives and work of the loggers in days gone by and today, on ecological networking and, of course, the natural diversity of mountain forests.

The new location of the Loggers’ Hut Museum is likewise steeped in history. The ‘Länd’ area in which it is set, takes its name from the word ‘Anlanden’, that is the bringing ashore of the wood that the loggers floated along the Gleirschbach stream and River Isar.
