ニュームブレヒトの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

天候が悪くても休憩するのに適したオープンな小屋です。ゴミは持ち帰る必要がありますが、それは理解できます。 小屋には、ここがNord-West-Trailの中心であることを示す掲示板があります。実は、私はここで初めてこのトレイルについて知りました。

A beautiful legend. The little witch conjured up perfect hiking weather that day.

A beautiful and well-kept hiking hut, lovingly furnished and very homely. It is worth taking a break here.

A quaint stop on the beer route 🤙

"Once upon a time on Walpurgis Night. All the witches in the area came to this place and danced exuberantly on their brooms. The witches had to be at least 200 years old before they were allowed to attend this festival. But a dear little witch, who was only 150 years old, would have loved to ride to the Walpurgis Festival. She could not control herself and secretly mingled with the wildly dancing older witches. Suddenly an aunt recognized her and dragged her to the head witch. The little witch was severely punished for her transgression. In revenge, on the next Walpurgis Night she secretly sneaked back to the witches' dance floor, waited until all the witches had gathered, swept all the brooms and witches' books into a big pile and burned them. Since then, nothing evil can be done by magic. Only the dear little witch still conjures up her good deeds. Be careful, you will experience it everywhere!” Source: https://www.ferienland-reichshof.de/natur-freizeit/wandern/waldlehrpfad.html

We started our tour at the Merten (Sieg) parking lot and hiked the Siegsteig section to Eitorf. We stopped for a snack at the Storker Hütte, with a wonderful view of the valley (after about 8 km). At KM 10, we had to walk along Schmelztalstraße for about 200 meters... not so pleasant! For the return journey from Eitorf to the starting point, we took the S12 train; the ticket price is currently €3 per adult. All in all, a very nice hike!

After a steep climb (no broom with me 😉) A great place to linger. Shelter and benches. The information board is very weathered.

Here lies the navel of the world! From here it is 1691 km in both directions of the North-South Trail. Namely to Sylt and the Allgäu. Little Oberottersbach seems to have a good village community - you rarely see such a beautifully furnished hiker's hut.
