If you walk along the Hünenteichweg, you will repeatedly come across very well-maintained and, above all, clean toilet blocks. So, hiker, remember that what you hoped for is also what your successor hopes for.

I have driven past the Betteleiche several times. By chance, because I took a different route, I came across this hut. It's nice and big and has room for lots of guests. There's even a toilet house right next to it. You don't see something like that very often.

A really nice, renovated mountain hut (former forester's lodge with a basement) in a quiet location in the immediate vicinity of the famous Betteleiche. Here you can easily take a break with a whole hiking group. There are a number of tables and benches that invite you to take a break. Signs also provide good information about the historical background of the hut and the Ihlefeld. We can really recommend this place!
