ヒルトポルトシュタインの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

Beautiful rest area with terrace and roof.

A really beautiful hut belonging to the H.T.V. Edelweiß Weißenohe und Umgebung e.V. (Weißenohe local group of the DAV Forchheim section). As beautiful as the hut is, it is unfortunately (currently?) only open on Fridays from 6:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. (https://www.htv-weissenohe.de/veranstaltungen.htm), so we unfortunately found the doors locked on a super sunny Sunday.

Very worth seeing, you have to see it

Unfortunately it was already closed

In the center of Stierberg, at the intersection of several hiking trails, there's a lovely, slightly elevated rest and play area with seating, playground equipment, and plenty of space to play. What makes this spot special, however, is a small hut containing a variety of items that hikers can take: books, board and party games, children's clothing, printed coffee mugs, and more. The best part? There's absolutely no junk on offer; only useful and well-preserved goods. A small donation box is located next to the hut, where hikers can leave a small contribution for what they've taken. A truly beautiful spot in a peaceful setting for a break – highly recommended.

Protected me from a brief thunderstorm. I made my way back to the hut at the first drop and was there just in time before the downpour.

Very nice place for an overnighter. If you want to spend the night there under the open sky, you should first obtain the consent of the Franconian Switzerland Association.

At the hiking car park at the Dachsbau east of Bernheck there is a pretty pavilion shelter and two picnic tables. There are many hiking boards and other information boards. Also instructions on how to behave when encountering wolves.
