Unfortunately, most of the former animal enclosures fell victim to the catastrophic state of forest dieback in the Ziegelroda forest. Only a few remnants exist, all in all in a very sad condition.

Nice, quiet place with seating. There is also a mailbox with a "summit book". Unfortunately, it looks as if the place is falling into disrepair and no one is looking after it. The path further up was also overgrown last summer and it was almost impossible to get through.

The romantic place has probably not been cared for for a long time. A pity.

I just discovered it by accident, as I was just looking at Komott at the time. The hut is about 100 meters off the trail behind trees. You can't see them from the main trail itself. Definitely go. Beautiful view of the valley. There is also a bench to rest on.
