The perfect compromise for breaks! While Mom and Dad can finally enjoy their coffee from the thermos in peace at the mountain hut, the kids are busy on the balancing beam right next to it. Ideal for refueling for the rest of the way! ☕🪵 Checked by @wanderfamilie.erzgebirge

Top, well-maintained forest roads! 100% suitable for off-road buggies and balance bikes. Important: There are no refreshments along the entire route, so pack enough provisions for the many beautiful picnic benches. (By the way, there is another forest toilet at the Leninhütte!). 🎒 Checked by @wanderfamilie.erzgebirge

Next to the Weber's Ruh refuge is the chess piece B5. This place was named after Louis Weber, a merchant from Borstendorf who liked to stay here.
