    Hiking hut on the treeless summit of the Gläserberg with a fantastic panoramic view over the mountain tops of the Thuringian Rhön and far beyond. Absolutely worthwhile ascent 👍🏻, great paths guaranteed.

      A fresh wind blows on the summit around the Dermbacher Hut, which is managed and maintained by members of the Rhönklub Dermbach branch. The first hiking hut was built on the Gläserberg as early as 1879, but fell into disrepair during the First World War. In 1922, another newly built hut was inaugurated, which was deliberately destroyed after the Second World War and the division of Germany. Because the Gläserberg was in a restricted area and the Rhönklub was banned during the GDR era, access to the mountaintop was denied. After the political change, the Rhönklub Dermbach branch was re-established and decided to rebuild the hiking hut, which was once a real log cabin and was to be rebuilt in the same way. On October 8, 1994, the time had come - the Dermbacher Hut could be inaugurated. Many Rhönklub members supported the reconstruction with full commitment.

        Now it stands high up on the mountain again. A refuge that offers hikers not only food and drink and a cozy spot by the blazing fire, but also a wonderful view into the distance from inside. The Dermbacher hut can also be rented; 15 beds can be found in the attic, while 60 guests can be accommodated in the guest room downstairs. If you want to enjoy the panoramic view from outside, there are plenty of places to sit around the hiking hut under the meter-high mountain cross. On Ascension Day, an ecumenical service is held here every year, attracting visitors from the wider region. In general, the Rhön Club members can look forward to many visitors every Sunday who hike across the border to the Gläserberg or cycle here.
