The Wichtelhaus is a cave formation in the middle red sandstone on the Würzeberg. The cave is about 1.5 meters high and 2 meters deep. And recognizable as a popular destination based on the "cave paintings". The way there is challenging, however.

The highlight of our hike was the gnome house, not because it is so interesting there, but finding the way there is the challenge. The 60 m climb from the path to 360 m up to the cave in the red sandstone requires breathing air, beads of sweat and surefootedness. Since the path quickly gets lost between fallen trees and branches, there are 3 ways to find it:
1. Follow the coordinates: 50.97759 N 8.74539 E
2. Follow the Komoot markings across (mountain) fields
3. Always go uphill to the top of the Würzeberg at 383 m, then back down and walk along the mountain at 360 m - then the gnome house must come. :-)

Because this is a place that not many will find.
From the path steeply uphill about 60 meters in altitude on a path that is not a path, through undergrowth and bushes.
Good footwear is important and pay attention to the signs, orange markings and a white thread mark the path.
The gnome house would certainly be easier to find from the top of the Würzeberg, about 380m high, but I couldn't find a way there.
