Nice hut, but unfortunately no opportunity to rest. Neither at the summit nor here at the hut. The last bench was at the Zankelstein viewpoint!

Here you can borrow the key for the Arzberg Tower. You can have a good meal here before the tour, after the tour or, of course, both times.

Beautifully situated in the forest. Quaint hut with beautiful outdoor area. The key for the Arzberg Tower, about 1 kilometer away, can be borrowed there for a fee. (Note opening times).
