シュトラウフハインの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

A timber-framed pavilion as a shelter wouldn't be bad.

On May 27, 1906, an observation tower was inaugurated on the summit in honor of Duchess Alexandrine (1820–1904), wife of Duke Ernst II of Coburg.[3][4] The Alexandrine Tower, designed by Max Böhme, fell into disrepair over the following decades due to inadequate maintenance and was demolished in March 1936 due to its dilapidated condition. On July 18, 1936, the Thüringerwald-Verein Coburg e.V. inaugurated the Alexandrine Hut on the same site, built partly using stones from the former tower. For over 80 years, the association has operated the hut on a voluntary basis and continuously modernizes it. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandrinenh%C3%BCtte

The Alexandrinenhütte is a hut belonging to the Thüringerwald-Verein Coburg e. V. (Thuringian Forest Association Coburg). It is located on the Sennigshöhe (523 m above sea level), one of the highest points in the Coburg district, near the Mirsdorf district of the Meeder municipality in Upper Franconia (Bavaria). It serves as a popular hiking rest stop and, due to its elevation, is considered the highest beer garden in the Coburg region. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandrinenh%C3%BCtte

This panel vividly explains the formation of the Straufhain. The geological outcrop is located right next to it and is unfortunately somewhat overgrown. Otherwise, it's really very interesting. There are several other basalt cones of this type in the area, including the Heldburg Fortress and the Gleichberge Mountains, which bear witness to past volcanic activity.

Perfect for a break

The Green House is a small converted pavilion that today serves as a shelter and resting place for hikers. The building was originally a historic armory belonging to Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen.

Roundabout on the Fürstenweg. The Fürstenweg is an old gentlemen's path that leads from Schleusingen to Schönbrunn to the former hunting lodge. There is a lot to discover here. Great circular tours, viewpoints and lots of nature. The paths in the Hildburghausen city forest are well maintained and can also be passed with a trekking bike.

Former hunting lodge of the prince, half-timbered construction. Offers good shelter for hikers.
