ジークブルクの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ15

The so-called "Wanderlaube" (Wandering Hut) is a nicely furnished rest hut in Süchterscheid, where hot water in a large thermos flask and various coffees, tea bags, and cold drinks, as well as something to nibble on, await hikers and walkers. Those who enjoy a break here and take advantage of the provided food should, of course, also be honest enough to feed the provided piggy bank.

Beautiful hiking hut with coffee, tea or cold drinks. There is a guest book and a donation box into which you can put "whatever it's worth to you". I love these little highlights when hiking.

This is a good place to rest, protected from the weather. It is on the "herb trail", one of the mountainous forays.

Great self-service, trust-based rest stop offering tea & coffee, fruit juices, apple cider, biscuits etc.

Well hidden in the forest on a very bumpy asphalt path

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!

Great view over Eitorf

Nice shelter with benches around the outside to enjoy the rest in the sunshine.
