Benda Hut and Spring

A popular meeting place for cross-country skiers and hikers from the Czech Republic and Germany is the forest hut under the Brunnhäusl at 875 meters above sea level, better known as the Benda Hut. It gets its name from the fact that the head of the Domazlice Municipal Forests, forestry director Jan Benda, opens the hut mostly on Saturdays and Sundays in winter to provide cross-country skiers and hikers with grog, tea, coffee or beer. Guests are particularly pleased when Jan Benda serves apple pie baked by his wife Maria.
The original hut, which served as improvised accommodation for tourists, hunters and woodcutters, is now a ruin.

Next time there's an unattended beer in the cool fountain, I'll drink it!!
