Beautiful hut with benches in front of and inside the hut.

For the Kölsche Wiesen area of the FFH, roosts of Bechstein's bat and the mouse-eared bat were detected in the forest around the meadows there in 2011/12 and 2016.

There is a small observation tower here with a fantastic view.
Unfortunately I was only able to see 5 castles, perhaps with better visibility all 7 can be seen 🙂
