플뢰스베르크‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산장 & 오두막집

The Silberhütte mountain refuge was built in 1932 by the Upper Palatinate Forest Association (OWV), enlarged in 1940, and an additional storey was added in 1957. The Silberhütte was originally run as a restaurant with guest rooms. The village, distinguished by its snow-sure location at an altitude of 818 meters, developed into a center for hiking, but especially for cross-country skiing. Since 2016, no tenant has been found for the once popular excursion restaurant. In 2018, the OWV sold the mountain refuge and its two-and-a-half-hectare site to the town of Bärnau. All plans for revitalization, most recently the planned conversion to a climate and nature awareness center in 2022, have failed since then. It looks as if the Silberhütte is becoming a lost place.

Unfortunately, the log cabin has to remain closed for 2024 for family reasons. Alternative refreshment tips around the Waldnaabtal can be found here: www.oberpfaelzerwald.de/waldnaabtal/gastronomie-rund-um-das-waldnaabtal

The Silberhütte was once a well-visited destination both in summer and in winter. As almost everywhere else, the decay of the silver smelting works is gnawing. It's just a pity about the hospitality in this region.

The silver hut was closed when I was there while hiking in October 2022. A very large car park below the hut is a good starting point for hikes or cross-country skiing.

There is a nice rest area made of stone here (if the weather is good). Otherwise, there are benches with a table up in the shelter or further down in the information pavilion where you can take a break. You can also read about the Haselstein.

Attention since October 8th. is the mill in the winter break. In spring '22 the opening will be announced again via Facebook etc.

One can only hope that life will return here

No matter if you are a hiker or a cyclist. A stop at the old mill is a must! www.owv-georgenberg.de
