Nice shelter for a break 👍

With a cold drink.

Ideal hut for rest

Here you can relax for a while and hide from the bad weather in the hut. There are garden benches, tables and a small grill. There is also a parking space if you want to leave your car there.

This circular route 4 offers a relaxing forest landscape as well as still quite bare mountain slopes, which are freshly green after the devastating hurricane Kyrill in 2007 due to new tree plantings and emerging wild growth. After a short ascent from the parking lot, the "4" leads to the right via a newly created wood removal path to a forest edge path on the north side of the Stuckenberg. Here it is worth taking a look at large parts of the Wiehengebirge and the wooded heights beyond Ostenwalde. A varied hiking route with branches and "spiders" leads with the help of the "4" to a deep brook valley, the "Schnepfensiek", which you cross with lots of curves. On the short, steep ascent (20%!) that follows, you should pay attention to the surprisingly large Douglas firs along the way. From the fence of the Diedrichsburg-Nordtor forest area, the path leads about 800 m to the east gate and the Thomaskreuz with the refuge. On the ridge path that follows, the landscape has been totally transformed by Mount Cyril. Bare hilltops and mountain slopes and newly reforested areas surprisingly offer an unusual view of the long stretching mountains of the Teutoburg Forest. After returning to the Stuckenberg, it is worth making a detour to the observation tower with views of Buer and the Wiehengebirge and across the Elsen lowlands to the mountains in the south.

The Beautification and Tourist Association Melle (VVV) maintains five refuges in the Meller Mountains. In addition to the Thomaskreuz hut, these are: the Kerlihütte, the hut on the Ottoshöhe, the hut on the Steinkreuz and the hut on the Weberhaus car park.
