The barbecue area is a bivouac area with everything your heart desires. Dry toilet (separately for men and women!), shelter, seating, fireplace, hut with firewood (with ax and shovel!) and a boardwalk to a water point about 50 m away. Everything is in good shape 👏 I think you can spend a quiet night here and not be disturbed by hikers.

Right on the way. Whoever sits there always has spectators, as many people hike this path.
