Well-kept refuge (closed on 3 sides) with space for 6-8 people. On the corner, creative art with a chainsaw - a gem from an unknown forest worker. Regular emptying of the garbage can.

Great hut to take a break, equipped with seat cushions and candles. Blow out candles after your stay, leave seat cushions there, other hikers will also be happy about it. Rubbish in the bin or take away.
