Nice restaurant with beer garden. And now open again without restrictions. When we last came by on a hike in April 2021, strict corona restrictions still applied.

Forest house Heiligkreuz Here you can park to start a tour or interrupt a tour for a break. Located between Bingerbrück and Bodmannstein Forest house Heiligkreuz. Source: City of Bingen The traditional Waldgaststätte Heiligkreuz is a central excursion destination in an idyllic location in the middle of the local recreation area of the Bingen Forest, not far from the city of Bingen. Nearby are award-winning hiking trails and beautiful viewpoints over the Rhine Valley. An adventure trail with a suspension bridge, Villa Rustica and a botanical garden complete the range of leisure activities around the property. The forester's lodge is on the Bingerbrück road to the Bodmannstein. The house takes its name from what used to be a hermitage (hermitage), which consisted of a chapel and the hermit's apartment (who was also in charge of the area). The hermitage was finally dissolved in 1791, a new forest warden had to be appointed to live there. A new forester's house was built in 1865. In 2017 it was completely renovated and the forest restaurant started operating again after a period of closure.

Really very nice rest area, but if you are looking for solitude, you should rest somewhere else. You always meet nice people here!

In my opinion, the Lauschhütte is not quite what it appears to be on the Internet. It's a (hut) restaurant adjacent to an outdoor park, that's right. But I wouldn't say that you only meet like-minded people there and that this is a hut for hikers. It is only possible to wash in the disabled toilet (cold water) and hikers are not welcomed in the area of the actual hut. Drying room for equipment or shoe brushes so that you don't mess up everything in the room with your forest shoes. Since the usual guests are fewer hikers, you are not necessarily in good hands in the room if it still smells a little like nature after not washing your cat too thoroughly. I would like a little more here. We would also like to have an outdoor area for hikers. We weren't the only hikers that evening who weren't quite happy with the situation. The fact that there was no breakfast the next day (Monday) was tolerable, but it was a shame. Because this morning I think we set off with 7 hikers who would certainly have eaten something. Or would have liked to take something with you. Everything is whining at a high level! The food and the staff are great!!! There is nothing!!! Nevertheless, for me it is more of a restaurant with a connection to the Outoorpark than a "hiking hut". At the last minute (5:30 p.m.) we met two employees of the outdoor park who looked after us and showed us our campsite or offered us the trekking lodge upon request. That was really good. Because everything was wet and a little fresh. Cool, nice staff here too. We were also offered to hang up our things in a yurt. It wouldn't have helped much, it would have been of little use without heating. But it was nice that it was offered. We'll definitely come again. Maybe a little has happened by then. Have fun everyone on the Soonwaldsteig.

It's better to reserve a table in the guest room in advance, which is only possible online and there is no internet on site (Wi-Fi only for employees, not for guests). We were on the Soonwaldsteig to spend the night in the tree house (€60 / without electricity, light or heating element) on a very wet and cold day - so slightly frozen. The washing facilities only consist of cold water. Our request for a table in the warm dining room was denied quite emotionlessly. You could sit on the terrace (without heating elements) or try every now and then, currently and the next two hours would be full or too many reservations. So don't expect any favoritism for overnight guests.
