Old Quarry and Bunker Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Quarry with an old "bunker-like" hut. Because of the risk of falling rocks you shouldn't pause too long here. The path continues to the Hochwacht (mountain bike path).

Beautiful rest area! Tables and benches are sheltered from the rain. You can drink the fresh spring water and dip your feet in the basin 💦💦

Behind the Langeloo Hut is a beautiful hollow gas trail. It starts wide, then narrows, merging into a gorge-like path. Pure enjoyment!

Nice place to linger. Large covered barbecue area (only the barbecue area is protected) also on site. Free access to the covered relaxation area with tables and benches. There is a water fountain. I don't know if there is always water.
