    Tips

    The Waldschmidthaus is located just below the summit of the Großer Rachel mountain. This mountain refuge owes its name to Maximilian Schmidt, also known as Waldschmidt. The writer from Eschlkam (1832-1919) explored, among other things, the Bavarian-Bohemian relationship and used real locations as inspiration for his stories. Built in 1912 by the Spiegelau section of the Bavarian Forest Association, the Waldschmidthaus became privately owned in 1920. Today, it is owned by the Free State of Bavaria and is currently undergoing renovations.

    The Waldschmidthaus is currently closed until further notice, so there is no food or drink available at this time.

      A pretty little hut with rustic charm, just below the summit.
