Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

May 25, 2025

The Silberhütte mountain refuge was built in 1932 by the Upper Palatinate Forest Association (OWV), enlarged in 1940, and an additional storey was added in 1957. The Silberhütte was originally run as a restaurant with guest rooms. The village, distinguished by its snow-sure location at an altitude of 818 meters, developed into a center for hiking, but especially for cross-country skiing. Since 2016, no tenant has been found for the once popular excursion restaurant. In 2018, the OWV sold the mountain refuge and its two-and-a-half-hectare site to the town of Bärnau. All plans for revitalization, most recently the planned conversion to a climate and nature awareness center in 2022, have failed since then. It looks as if the Silberhütte is becoming a lost place.

The silver hut was closed when I was there while hiking in October 2022. A very large car park below the hut is a good starting point for hikes or cross-country skiing.
