    Tips

    Here once stood a Pottasch hut. In addition to the production of resin, pitch and charcoal, potash was also produced in many places in the Palatinate Forest. Potash is a white, granular, salt-like mass that attracts water in the air and is now called potassium carbonate (K2 CO3). Today a knight stone reminds of it.

      A simple hut that is ideal for a short rest or as a shelter.
      No further benches or barbecue areas by the hut. However, tree trunks often seem to be temporarily stored here, so that you can find a place outside the hut in dry weather.
