マーックスハウゼンの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

The Fohlenplackener Hut is a popular destination for hikers, nature lovers, and cyclists. At an elevation of approximately 440 meters, it offers wonderful views over the vast forests of the Solling region and invites you to take a relaxing break amidst untouched nature. The hut is located on the Fohlenplacken Meadow, a historic clearing that likely got its name from the foals that once grazed there. Today, it is an important point in the Solling-Vogler Nature Park's network of hiking trails. The Hochsolling Circular Trail, which passes directly by the Fohlenplackener Hut, is particularly popular. The refuge itself is quaint and cozy—a classic example of the region's rustic architecture. It serves hikers as shelter from the elements, a rest stop, and a meeting place. There's also a barbecue and picnic area nearby, ideal for groups and families.

The idea for the hut was born in 1984. After a village festival on the grounds of the former Noack sawmill, the surplus was to be used for a worthy purpose. The majority opted for accommodation for communal gatherings in a suitable public space. After negotiations with Neuhausen's mayor, Friedrich Schwerdtfeger, forestry director Dr. Förster, and district manager Langer, the hut was inaugurated in 1986. The front, open but sheltered area is equipped with seating and is open to the public. The approximately 5x5m interior serves as the village community room for the Fohlenplackener community.

Beautiful spring area with shelter and stamp station.

The climb to the hut is definitely worth it. Beautiful forest, tranquility, and a nice place to rest. Stamp point No. 28 is located here.

The climb and detour here were worth it! Stamp point No. 28 is also located here.

Very beautifully situated hut with a view over Fohlenplacken and the Holzmindetal.

Source of the Ahlebach stream. A beautiful place to rest. The hut is very inviting. Stamp station no. 30 of the "Wilde Heimat" stamp booklet of the Solling-Vogler region is located right next to the hut.

The Ahle river collects its spring water here in an artificially created spring pond before carrying it south. Just when it reaches adulthood - measured in kilometers - it is allowed to feed the Schwülme with this water before it flows into the Weser a further seven kilometers later. The Ahle is of great importance for the water balance in the southern Solling, because traditionally little rain falls here, and not just in the current dry year. The source of the Ahle, on the other hand, delivers a stable amount of water, so that the river - "Ahle" means nothing other than "small river" - forms a constant element in the local water system.
