ロムロッドの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ19

The hut itself is located in a large open area in the middle of the forest, where there is all sorts of things to discover.

Good opportunity for a break.

A beautiful, idyllic place.

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.

Nice bench with table to relax on. Unfortunately the hut is closed, but it has a large roof overhang.

The stop is on the former Gründchenbahn (opened in 1915 and closed in 1974)

We were happy to find a covered rest area today - everything outside was covered in snow

refuge at the old railway embankment, unfortunately a bit littered
