Public car park Mehrtagesparkplatz, Going (744 m) - for free
Camping and permanent parking (more than 14 days) are prohibited on this car park.


The car park at the hiking starting point in Hüttling is a day car park, which means that no ticket can be purchased for several days. The parking ticket is therefore only valid on the day of issue! It is a public car park from May to October. During the winter months from November to April the car park is not attended. During this time the use is at your own risk!

Camping and permanent parking is prohibited on this car park. (Vehicles that are parked illegally will be reported to the police and towed.)

We recommend starting the Kaiserkrone on a Sunday or Monday, as the weekends at the huts are usually very well booked and there can be difficulties with availability.
See the individual stages of the Kaiserkrone for further details.
No luggage transport is possible along the Kaiserkrone.

The hiking routes between the huts are often quite long, so it is advisable to stock up on sufficient snacks and water and to book accommodation in good time.
