シャイベンベルクの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

In 1903, a mountain hut belonging to the Erzgebirge Association on the summit of Bärenstein formed the nucleus of today's guesthouse and hotel with an observation tower. Ten years later, the hut was expanded into a lodging house. After reunification, the mountain house, now run again as a family business, was reconstructed and reopened in 1992, and renovated again in 2021. The mountain hotel, located at an altitude of 898 meters, offers 22 rustic rooms and, as a special attraction, a 27-meter-high observation tower. On September 11, 1944, the tower was damaged during the air battle over the Ore Mountains ("Black Monday"). Bullet holes can still be seen in the spiral staircase.

Very good place to relax

At the foot of this path, which winds along the steep mountainside over uneven basalt steps, there is a memorial plaque commemorating the builder of this path and also showing him and his daughter in a photo.

Schlettau circular hiking trail »On the steps of Ottomar Zahm« The circular hiking trail leads from Schlettau to the nearby Scheibenberg. The ascent takes place via several steps made of basalt stones that Ottomahr Zahm created over 100 years ago. The hike leads centrally from Schlettau with good parking options towards Waltherdorf via the so-called Kirchsteig. From Walthersdorf it initially goes gradually uphill to the foot of the Scheibenberg. On the circular trail you can decide whether you want to tackle the summit or whether you want to take a leisurely hike around the Scheibenberg. The ascent via the so-called Ottomahr-Zahm-Steig is definitely recommended. A wonderful view and a shelter halfway invite you to do so. Once you have reached the top, you go back down the opposite side and over beautiful field paths and through the Schlettau city forest back to the starting point.

Great surroundings, super great staff and of course super tasty food, always happy to come back 👍
