I think it's important to know that shelters are marked on the hiking map just in case. They can definitely be a highlight in heavy rain, thunderstorms and other situations.

Small hut at the junction of the road between Plön and Niederkleveez in the direction of Timmdorf. Does what a hut like this should be able to do ... 🤷♂️

There are several signs hanging in the hut showing the different birds (here is also a photo of the signs...). It was also important to mark how/where there are opportunities to distinguish between the birds, some of which at first glance look the same.
