Class starting point for hikes. Some tour suggestions are offered here. I can recommend the recently created premium hiking trail - fable trail "Lichte Blick".

Schellbachslücke Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Here is the refuge "Schellbachslücke". A small but fine hut. Very tidy. Two benches are located in the immediate vicinity and offer you a fabulous view of the beautiful Knüll and to Welchrod.

There are a few huts here. They are used for forestry, among other things. You are in the so-called "plant garden". A completely new hut with an oven was recently built here.
The place is ideal for a break.
