    Hiking

    A real highlight for all refuge lovers. If the weather is bad, you can stay overnight in your own sleeping bag under the roof.

    OTZ January 6th, 2023: A storm and, as a result, a falling tree severely damaged the Wurzelberghütte in the forest between Katzhütte, Goldisthal and Scheibe-Alsbach.

    Hiking

    Since the old hunting lodge on the Wurzelberg Meadow was destroyed towards the end of the 2nd World War, a small block house was built as a replacement just below the meadow next to a spring, which has been preserved to this day through the commitment of nature lovers. It serves as a hideaway for hikers when the root mountain shows its stormy side.

     

    A memorial stone with a plaque commemorates that the water of the spring once fed a fish pond, which was created in 1740.
