Shortly after that, the “Almhütte” appears, and the sign here speaks a clear language: “Our beer garden is taking a winter break and will be back for you in the spring.” https://felderbacher.de/biergarten Another sign gives cause for joy, in the sense of cheerfulness: “Hut heated.” Sure and done. We sit under the “warming” sign, protected from the wind and sometimes touched by the sun on the “Alm”; amplified by the stormy weather, you can already develop a mountain feeling here.
