    Place of historical importance. Unfortunately, the hut may not be entered.

    Ensures good blood circulation when walking barefoot here.
    The bath is directly at the Köhlerhütte.

    Hiking

    The Köhlerhütte (charcoal burner's hut) found here refers the visitor to an ancient, today – almost – extinct craft, but it was once a decisive factor in the industrialization of entire regions: The blast furnaces of the iron and steel industry, for example, relied on charcoal to reach the operating temperature necessary for smelting ore. As a consequence, entire regions were once completely deforested by charcoal burning, and it is only thanks to later afforestation that forests have re-emerged and nature can be seen.
