발트브뢴‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산장 & 오두막집

A beautiful legend. The little witch conjured up perfect hiking weather that day.

In my personal ranking, I divide the komoot highlights into those that offer something great (special viewpoints, cultural sights ...) and others that I classify as "useful to know", such as hiking car parks and rest huts. In the latter sense, a practical rest hut with enough space and benches on three sides.

The Georg Kalka Hut is already listed as a hiking highlight at https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/646068

A quaint stop on the beer route 🤙

Unfortunately, the landscape here has changed a lot in recent years. A few years ago there was still a dense spruce forest here, but now, as a result of climate change, the forest has disappeared and it will probably take a generation for a mixed forest to grow back.

"Once upon a time on Walpurgis Night. All the witches in the area came to this place and danced exuberantly on their brooms. The witches had to be at least 200 years old before they were allowed to attend this festival. But a dear little witch, who was only 150 years old, would have loved to ride to the Walpurgis Festival. She could not control herself and secretly mingled with the wildly dancing older witches. Suddenly an aunt recognized her and dragged her to the head witch. The little witch was severely punished for her transgression. In revenge, on the next Walpurgis Night she secretly sneaked back to the witches' dance floor, waited until all the witches had gathered, swept all the brooms and witches' books into a big pile and burned them. Since then, nothing evil can be done by magic. Only the dear little witch still conjures up her good deeds. Be careful, you will experience it everywhere!” Source: https://www.ferienland-reichshof.de/natur-freizeit/wandern/waldlehrpfad.html

Well-maintained shelter at an important junction, good for a rest especially in rainy weather.

A nice rest area with seating.
