ウィンデックの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

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.

In my personal ranking, I divide the komoot highlights into those that offer something great (special viewpoints, cultural sights ...) and others that I classify as "useful to know", such as hiking car parks and rest huts. In the latter sense, a practical rest hut with enough space and benches on three sides.

The Georg Kalka Hut is already listed as a hiking highlight at https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/646068

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.

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

Well-maintained shelter at an important junction, good for a rest especially in rainy weather.

A nice rest area with seating.

The Kalkahütte is about 6.5 km from the starting point of the hike at the Melchiorweg/Hüppelröttchen car park. A good opportunity for a first rest.
