    The Albert Schweitzer Hut in Altenfeld is an idyllic meeting place for hikers, nature lovers, and groups. Originally built by the Altenfeld Mountain Rescue Service as a refuge and training center, it was later modernized. Since 2002, it has been operated by the Albert Schweitzer Hut Association, which oversees the building's maintenance, environmental protection, and social projects. Here, you can enjoy a cozy atmosphere—with sleeping space for up to 24 people, a fully equipped kitchen, and a barbecue area and fire pit, providing the perfect setting for convivial evenings.

        The short climb from the panoramic path up to the hut is worth it.
