Very nice, shady beer garden. Note opening hours! A visit to the small but fine stalactite cave is definitely worth it.

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!

Definitely worth a tip. Sit outside with a lovely view. Buy fresh wood-fired bread and cave cheese. There are various events here; we caught suckling pig day and the food was excellent. There is also a monthly beer. Every month a small brewery is served to support them.
