There is also room for a group to take a break in the shelter. Waste bin included. Around the corner there is a forest sofa with a view of Hohenleimbach. The second half of the Bergheidenweg is not quite as interesting as the first half.

The second half of the path is no longer quite as scenic in terms of landscape as the first half, unfortunately a large part of it is on country roads

There are numerous benches both inside and outside the hut, making it a comfortable place for larger groups to rest. From here, you can see the mountain heaths on the Raßberg and Büschberg hills. Unfortunately, there is no trace of the deserted village of Selbach, which was originally located on the high plateau.
