Fritz Claus Hut (PWV Martinshöhe)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Very rustic hut. You feel right at home in this cozy cabin. The staff is friendly and the food is tasty.

Hello, the story of the origin of the word Rautendelein that is described on the plaque is absolute nonsense. My father, who was born in 1897 (he was already 61 …

Interesting point on the hike. A wall can now be seen from the former quarry.

The Elendsklamm is a great and interesting rock gorge. Particularly impressive are the step-like cascades, waterfalls, and bizarre sandstone rock formations that the Frohnbach has shaped over millennia.

Just to see from the driveway and the relatively steep demolition edges that there used to be a quarry here.

The trail is poorly or not at all signposted in places. Thanks to the use of Komoot, orientation was relatively easy.

I hadn't quite made the loop. I took a shortcut pretty early on to escape the traffic noise 😉
I hope I haven't missed too much by doing this

Nice round
But before you go for a walk in the misery, please inform yourself well, there is still a lot blocked from snowfall

Start parking lot 🅿️Fritz Claus Hut.
It was very beautiful today in autumn 🍂 with an incredible number of mushrooms.
The sun unexpectedly came out.
The hut was full, with many reserved tables, so we sat in the winter garden.

The legendary forest path was shortened by about 4km at the western end. Today there were seven of us out and about, with beautiful subjects to photograph. Since it was quite cold again today, in contrast to yesterday, and we had a lot to talk about, we were glad to have turned the tour around so that we could stop …

On Sunday it was time for the next photo tour. We had chosen the "Fabulous Forest Trail" near Bruchmühlbach-Miesau. On the one hand, you can adapt and shorten the route very well, then there is a great PWV hiking hut with delicious apple marzipan cake 🍰 and the tour is easy to reach by train 🚂 and starts right at …

March 16, 2025,Sagenhafter Waldpfad, Elendsklamm

A very beautiful, varied trail. Before reaching Vogelbach, we took the shortcut over the Hohe Fels. This section is highly recommended. Unfortunately, this section is very poorly signposted. Otherwise, the route is good. The detour to the Elendshöhle cave is a bit strenuous, but worth it. We wouldn't have found the cave without the app.
