Beautifully built in 1999 – please treat with care! It's open – so it's protected from the rain if you get caught in a surprise.

A wonderful hut to take a longer break, either on a long hike or because you were surprised by rain and want to dry out. However, we should be careful not to allow it to continue to be polluted and damaged by careless visitors, as this could ultimately lead to its closure.
