THE COLD HEART The well-known fairy tale "The Cold Heart" by Wilhelm Hauff deals with the difficult life of a charcoal burner. Peter, a charcoal burner in the depths of the Black Forest, is fed up with the poor and hard life of a charcoal burner and exchanges his heart with the evil Dutchman Michel for one made of stone, thereby becoming a wealthy man. But in doing so, he also becomes arrogant, stingy, and cruel, and incurs grave guilt. He is very unhappy, but with the help of the well-meaning glass man, he is able to win back his heart from Dutchman Michel, so that the eternal struggle between good and evil finally finds a happy ending.

Here you can see, using an example of a small house, where and how the charcoal burner was housed in the forest. The charcoal burner is the man who had to make sure that the fire did not go out. The resulting coal was used for heating, among other things.

A 100 m long path leads to the bird hut in the ship. The large station has three spacious observation windows and several seating areas.

Nice place for a little break.

Very good food and even in the afternoon there is still hot food. The staff is very friendly and even as a single guest I was warmly welcomed despite several groups and a full house. The landscape of the restaurant is also very beautiful and right on the edge of the Hüttener mountains.
