The hut is okay. A bit small and dark, but it offers protection from the weather. Inside there are two benches and a trash can; the floor is fine gravel. Unfortunately, it smells of urine. If you have time before the thunderstorm, I recommend the Jägersteig hut just under 2 km south.

The hut is used as a rest stop during horse-drawn sleigh rides.
