フォーゲルスベルク山地の山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

A simple, weatherproof hikers' hut in the Vogelsberg region – ideal for a short rest, a snack break, or shelter from rain and snow. Quietly situated in the forest and often nestled along popular hiking trails. The perfect stop to catch your breath and enjoy the tranquility of the woods.

As long as the Bismarck Tower on the Taufstein remains closed, there's not much more to see from there. Otherwise, in my humble opinion, the highest point of the Sieben Ahorn isn't where the sign is.

A beautiful, idyllic place.

Here you are in good hands whatever the rain, wind or weather.

The Mehlbach pond, which has nothing to do with flour or mills, because it has too little water for a mill and has never powered one, is currently being renovated by Hessen Forst. The dam is being rebuilt. For those interested: The Mehlbach is actually called Molbach, which comes from the Middle High German expression mol and means newt, lizard. Fifty years ago the first syllable was pronounced short, i.e. Melbach, or even Mölbach. That is why the old cadastral maps of the Grand Duchy still say Molbach. It's a bit of a shame that the original name has been parodied here out of ignorance. See the Lagis-Hessen State Archives for more information! I've attached a map section to the pictures. It used to be one of the ponds that had to supply the fish, when meat was still Sunday food.

At present, the pond is quite close to the state of the legend and not very attractive

To what extent this shelter is freely usable, you should perhaps inquire in advance with a city administration… Beautiful spot on earth

Nice hut that is not so draughty... dry, protected from the wind... and if you have a lighter with you... there is a candle on the table... there would also be room outside
