프로이덴슈타트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 산 정상

The Schütteturm tower over Horb: A panoramic view is the reward for the steep climb via the Stations of the Cross. Those who wish can ring the bells in the Ottilien Chapel – it is next to the tower.

The Stirnlesehütte is a covered cabin located in the middle of the forest. It was built in 1910 and lies at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level.

The Überzwerchberg Hut is a covered rest area and is located at 860 meters above sea level.

The hut is located directly on the Seensteig trail, but otherwise beautifully secluded, with no forest highway next to it. I found shelter here during a summer thunderstorm and even spent the night. Unfortunately, the floor is quite dirty because there's no door, and no broom either. The benches are numerous, but narrow and fixed. But you can push the tables together... At least the lack of a door kept it from being so hot. Of course, that's a disadvantage in cooler weather, and making fires is prohibited. But at least the rain doesn't get in thanks to the canopy. There are, however, rodents (possibly dormice) that romp around on the ceiling and in the partition walls, making noise. That only lasted for an hour, though, and then it was quiet – apart from the tawny owl ;o)

My wife looks up and says I want to look down 🤷‍♂️🤪

It is very well equipped and newly furnished. It is a good place to rest before descending into the Tonbach valley. Very nicely located.

The Ruhestein National Park Center was estimated to cost 17 million € but in the end cost over 40 million € in taxpayers' money, the biggest waste of taxpayers' money in the region 😡😡😡 of the running costs, taxpayers don't even want to think about it.

The chapel is open. Take your time to read the plaques - they explain the background of the Ottilien Chapel. If you want, you can pull the rope and ring the bells.
