    There used to be a high wooden tower here, but unfortunately it burned down ...
    However, the refuge also invites you to rest.

      The 16-meter-high Hans Wischeler Tower used to stand on the Beuelskopf, 292 m above sea level. The wooden observation tower was destroyed by arson in 2002.

        At the corners of the hut you can still see the pillars of the burnt down tower.
