    Tips

    October 16, 2018

    The Zschinstein bivouac is part of the Forststeig. There is this little mini hut, a compost toilet, a rain container with process water and a table with a bench. You have to bring your own drinking water. It is advisable to buy a water filter in the outdoor shop for the hike, otherwise it will be difficult with the drinking water supply on the Forststeig.

    In order to be able to spend the night here, you have to purchase a trekking ticket worth 10 euros in advance. These tickets are valid for two years. To use it, fill in the date, throw one half into the ticket mailbox and keep the other half ready to show.

      If the hut is busy, tents may be placed around.

        The Zschirnstein bivouac near the Zschirnstein summit has space for five two-person tents and a trekking hut for up to three people. The bivouac is part of the Forststeig and is open seasonally from April to October. There is a composting toilet, but no drinking water access. Accommodation costs €10 per adult per night.

            Nice bivouac spot, small hut with a few sleeping places, service water from the hut roof

              The first bivouac place on the Forststeig coming from Schöna

                Much smaller than the Taubenteich bivouac site, but with a great view of the Zschirnstein

                  We stayed here in the tent. The lawn is mowed. The place is nice, there is a toilet with toilet paper and a bench with a table. Unfortunately, the rain barrel had no water the next day although it had rained heavily. It was synonymous without ;-)

                    greatest bivouac on the forest trail.
