The hut is often open in winter and can be easily reached with snowshoes if the weather is good. The path through the high moor runs a lot on wooden planks, if you want to hike dry-footed, adequate "waterproof" footwear is recommended

The hut is simply and rustically furnished and offers a small selection of home cooking dishes such as goulash soup or chilli concarne or simply fries. The terrace invites you to rest.
