The path to the Glockenberghütte isn't easy to find. Coming from Bodenheim, the hut is often difficult or impossible to spot from a distance. This makes orientation difficult. Once you reach the top, you can enjoy a wonderful view all the way to Frankfurt. The hut itself is completely unspectacular, but at least it offers shelter from the rain and wind and some seating.
