The refuge on the Mettenberg is located in the Selketal between the Hotel Thalmühle and the Selkemühle.

At this point, the valley is free of traffic over a length of 8 km and is wider than at other places. The paved path, also used by many cyclists, leads through the nature reserve and allows you to marvel at the unique flora and fauna.

Another small rest area is located diagonally across the street in the direction of Meisdorf, right on the course of the Selke creek! You can reach it over a bridge.
