There has also been a small refuge here for some time. The Eifel loop is named after the “Breakfast Beech”. There you can also find the explanation of the name: "The breakfast beech was a mighty group of beech trees that defied Hurricane Wiebke in 1990. The hurricane destroyed a large part of the surrounding forest areas. By 1993, a total of 23 hectares of mixed forest, consisting of copper beeches, Sessile oaks, ash trees, red alders, hornbeams and Douglas firs were reforested. Unfortunately, the group of beech trees had to be felled in 2017 for safety reasons. As a replacement, a young copper beech tree was planted at this point."

A sign, a bench, that was it.

The Breakfast Beech was a mighty group of beech trees that defied Hurricane Wiebke in 1990. The storm destroyed a large portion of the surrounding forest. By 1993, a total of 23 hectares of mixed forest consisting of common beech, sessile oak, ash, alder, hornbeam, and Douglas fir had been reforested. Unfortunately, in 2017, the beech group had to be felled for safety reasons. A young copper beech was planted in its place as a replacement.
