プライシュタインの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

特徴的なハーゼルシュタインには、かつて1400年頃に建てられたと思われる後期中世の洞窟城がそびえ立っていました。何世紀にもわたり、その岩の多い頂上を特徴づけていましたが、16世紀末にその重要性を失い、徐々に衰退していきました。 今日、かつての城の痕跡はほとんど残っていません。 花崗岩の岩の上には、ハイカーやサイクリストのための小さな避難小屋があります。

The Silberhütte mountain refuge was built in 1932 by the Upper Palatinate Forest Association (OWV), enlarged in 1940, and an additional storey was added in 1957. The Silberhütte was originally run as a restaurant with guest rooms. The village, distinguished by its snow-sure location at an altitude of 818 meters, developed into a center for hiking, but especially for cross-country skiing. Since 2016, no tenant has been found for the once popular excursion restaurant. In 2018, the OWV sold the mountain refuge and its two-and-a-half-hectare site to the town of Bärnau. All plans for revitalization, most recently the planned conversion to a climate and nature awareness center in 2022, have failed since then. It looks as if the Silberhütte is becoming a lost place.

It's a shame about the unused shelter, I'm curious to see when and how things will continue with the hut! 😏

The Silberhütte was once a well-visited destination both in summer and in winter. As almost everywhere else, the decay of the silver smelting works is gnawing. It's just a pity about the hospitality in this region.

The rustic mill also makes a charming impression from the outside, so it is worth stopping by during the week.

The silver hut was closed when I was there while hiking in October 2022. A very large car park below the hut is a good starting point for hikes or cross-country skiing.

There is a nice rest area made of stone here (if the weather is good). Otherwise, there are benches with a table up in the shelter or further down in the information pavilion where you can take a break. You can also read about the Haselstein.

Always worth a detour on the route from Vohenstrauß towards Floss...if it's open
