Forest barbecue hut with fire pit

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This simple, covered barbecue area is nestled in the middle of the forest—sturdy, weatherproof, and perfect for a break with rustic charm. The circular fire pit tells of many encounters, stories, and perhaps a loaf of stick bread or two.

May 27, 2025,Thörnicher Ritsch – Ritsch Klettersteig Runde von Ensch

I'm on the Moselle!
The place is called Ensch! No pubs, just wineries... and of course, not really open during the week.
Beer (I'm from Franconia!), not on the menu.
0.2 l of wine, €4.50, sounds good and straight from the winery!
Bottle, €15!? You get a case of beer for that 🫣
Just kidding, I'm not here to drink! …

It's not really a via ferrata. Two flights of stairs, a rope and a steep section. The view of the vineyards was beautiful. And the conversation with a winemaker about using a grape harvester to shake off the grapes was interesting.
