Regardless of whether it is raining or the sun is shining, you can take a break here, well protected from wind and weather. Also suitable as an exit or entry point, as it is located on the street. Not a lot of parking.

Regarding Angie P's tip: I have to disagree, it doesn't matter. I experienced a night with a thunderstorm while hiking on the Elbe Höhenweg, lightning struck only about 30 m away.

I ended up there because another "refuge" marked on the map didn't even exist.

Otherwise, the paths with changing views of the Elbe are definitely worthwhile.

The only thing I would do the entire Elbe Crest Trail next time is by bike and not on foot.
