Great cabin with a stove, fireplace and plenty of seating near the Czech border

Wonderful shelter in the forest, can be booked and is fully furnished.

In 1990, the local ski club, in collaboration with the Silberhütte Sports and Leisure Center, built a ski hut at the turning point of the cross-border cross-country ski trail on the site where the stately forester's lodge of the later-abandoned village of Goldbach once stood. The hut is open Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (in winter only until 4 p.m.).

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.

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.

Very great offer and good hut, we were happy to warm ourselves and stayed here. Many thanks to the "operators". Toilet is not far away and there is water at the Naab spring nearby!

Normally open on Saturdays in summer. winter on Sunday

Always nice to take a little break here
