Welcome opportunity for a short break. Unfortunately, the now tall trees prevent a beautiful view of the Kylltall.

"Suddenly it's there, just past Speicher, down in the deep valley of the Kyll. Located on the Mühlenweg, the first hiking trail of the day, we come across an angler's home. Slightly getting on in years, fabulously decorated with cobwebs, with latently erotic wall paintings from the fifties(?), one half of the house is unlocked and lures with the wall inscription: "Welcome to the quiet Eifel pilgrim who is reading the book of nature." Well, if that's not an invitation. We'll follow her immediately. Almost immediately. If it weren't for the other non-pilgrims who have littered this friendly place in such a way that I lose any feeling of staying overnight. Courageously friend KC gives the house husband; Clean up is the order of the day.” https://www.komoot.de/tour/781763055

There was wood on site, a fire pit and it's fairly well covered. However, visible and not protected from rain and wind, the tarp was important, but we were happy to find shelter there at night.

The Wenzelhausener Weg is fun. The Meulenwald is beautiful.
