Tagging

amenity=shelter
shelter_type=basic_hut

Other useful generic tags :

• ele=* elevation
• name=* name
• capacity=* sleeping capacity
• description=* fill more information with text
• operator=* typically used to indicate huts owned or maintained by a specific organisation. E.g. administration of forest or national parks or alpine clubs.
• access=private the hut is locked and can be used only with permission of the owner.
• drinking_water=yes If water is available inside (or aside). If there is a drinking_water or spring available at a measurable distance (given your recording method) tag it as a separate point with amenity=drinking_water

When hiking people need water. Consider making sure that all streams, rivers and lakes near the shelter are also mapped.
