Nice forest hut on the way to Lindentower Gütsch. The forest house has a covered barbecue area as well as a fountain with fresh running water. Ideal place for a small party.

In the Valaiswil forest, a forest owner has created a little paradise. He also proves to be an artist of the chainsaw and also shows wit. The gem in the forest is enriched with numerous small wooden works of art. But otherwise the barbecue area with hut is decorated with some props. My favorite among them, the "forest telephone".
