Neue Gehlberger Hütte on Schneekopf

The Neue Gehlberger Hütte is located on the 978-meter-high Schneekopf mountain and is the highest-altitude serviced hut in Thuringia. It offers a cozy hiking hostel with shared rooms and a restaurant serving traditional Thuringian cuisine.Opening Hours:
The restaurant is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. – longer in summer. Breakfast for guests is served from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

This is a good place to rest, stop for a bite to eat and warm up :) It is also possible to stay overnight, but capacity is limited.
Addendum UNFORTUNATELY: I heard that they are desperately looking for an operator!!!! Otherwise the hut will have to remain closed.

The Neue Gehlberger Hütte is open Thursday to Monday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday are rest days.

I can only recommend taking a break here. The offer is very good. The proximity to the parking facility at the Güldenen Brücke causes a large number of visitors, mostly on weekends and when the weather is nice.
