    Please keep everything clean so that we can continue to use this shelter (nice shade in summer; protection from rain) for a long time to come!

      Small shelter on the way to the rock

        A detour here on the way to the Drachenfels is highly recommended:
        The Westfelshütte is a pure shelter halfway up the north ascent. Since she is in the middle of the dark forest, she will probably only be visited by someone who actually needs protection.

          Such small huts are always great for resting and picnicking, especially in autumn and winter when the weather is not that good.

            A bit away from the hiking trail, offers protection in bad weather ...

              Nice hut to take a break, half way up to the Drachenfels.

                  Small refuge that might not be an invitation to take a break in summer, but the weather is not always good

                    Small refuge in the middle of the forest a little off the path

                      Always good to know where a shelter is. It has helped me many times.

                        A small refuge on the way between Saupferch and Drachenfelsen. Is also signposted.

                          ideal when it rains or for a short rest
