Falkenstein Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The mountain hut is a cozy place to stop, recharge, and enjoy the view, and it offers shelter in bad weather.
The cozy common room of the mountain hut can accommodate about 85 people. On the sun terrace below the summit cross, there are approximately 100 more seats available.

Hmmm, what are we doing today 🤔The weather forecast was too pessimistic for a longer tour like the Polednik. So the Falkenstein... is also on our bucket list, so to speak. Well, what can we say about the tour... the nature in the Höllbachgspreng is breathtaking and the path is just fun. The atmosphere with the wind and fog was …

Very nice tour from the Zwieslerwaldhaus to the Höhlbachgespreng and further to the large and small Falkenstein, back to the starting point. Very beautiful landscape that is worth seeing. At the Falkenstein, friendly staff and nice portions at a reasonable price. Don't pay attention to the walking time and speed, they are not correct, an error in the system.

After a break due to school and work, we were finally back on the trail this morning! ❤️

We set off at 7:30 a.m. in very pleasant 14 degrees Celsius from Zwieslerwaldhaus on the Heidelbeere hiking trail, which leads over the Ahornriegel to the Höllbachschwelle and then through the steep Höllbachgspreng up to the summit of the Großer Falkenstein! 😍🌲 …

Great tour, because of the bad weather, the path through Höllbachspreng was pretty slippery and greasy.

Today we went to the national park to climb the Großer Falkenstein. As soon as you arrive, you can see the rampage of the bark beetle with all the dead trees.

Apart from these sights, it is a very nice hike. While the first part of the path leads along forest paths, you soon switch back to beautiful stony trails.
