Löcherbergwasen Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The snack bar at the Loecherbergwasen has now achieved cult status, and not just because the landlady often adds a duplo to the order. The lady has been young for a while and is still up there every day from about 10.00 a.m. to about 6.00 p.m. and serves with her very own charm - coffee, cake, cold and warm dishes. It's very cozy and tastes great.

Good entertainment is always guaranteed. Guests from near and far quickly bond and there is always something to laugh about. I can really only recommend making a detour here.

The very special ambience right at the apex of the road to Peterstal attracts many mountain bikers and hikers here. There are always enough parking spaces to start hiking and cycling tours in the region.

Harkhof — Giant Chairs and Viewpoint

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Now the Harkhof has been a snack bar for ages. Now the term "Vesperstube" no longer does justice to today's reality: what is offered to the guest is much more: in addition to the very cozy dining room, the sun terrace has now been newly built and expanded and offers a brilliant view of the setting sun on very comfortable wooden benches .
The management team that provides the service (I don't know anyone inside) is young, friendly, relaxed and in a good mood. Even when there's a massive crowd, there's no rush or unpleasant scenes and you're even receptive to a joke now and then. That's what makes it so refreshingly nice to be here. Just everything. I don't even want to write about the food - the reader can imagine that this is also top notch - typical Black Forest food warm or cold - prepared with a lot of love. And I don't need to mention that you're full afterward.
A new overnight accommodation was also built, with a storage room for bicycles and the like. But I don't know much about it. I think the website or a phone call will provide the necessary information.

It's easy to get to the Harkhof, for example, starting from Lochbergwasen - it's 10 km from there, always slightly uphill but easy to do on foot or by bike. Or you come from the other side, from the Kreuzsattelhütte. The Harkhof is easy to find, the signage is more than sufficient. A real top recommendation.
We would love to come here again at any time.

Kreuzsattel Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Kreuzs saddle hut lends itself to an extended rest. From the 1st of May to the end of October, you can stop here on Sundays and public holidays. Not only children can let off steam on the spacious forest playground.
