🏡 The Nature Friends' House "Am Haselrech" is more than just a hut – it's a living hiking culture. Since the 1920s, it's been a place for community and nature experiences.

Today, there's space here again to rest, play, and enjoy. 📍 Tip: 🏡 Read the history – it makes the Nature Friends' House a special place with depth.

The spring/fountain was already broken in 2022 and is still broken now (July 2024). According to the hut's staff, it will be renovated/repaired "soon". It is better not to plan for a water stop until then

The rose hut was built by the Schmitzhausen rose association and is located in an idyllic spot below Schmitzhausen. There is also a hiking car park here 🅿️ . A good starting point for many beautiful hikes. At the moment (April 2024) it is also open again.
