A nice rest stop with lots of information about fauna and flora. Well done. The badger is very impressive. The refuge is maintained by the Unterhof local history association.

The "stone table" was built in the middle of the 19th century. The hut behind it was added a few years later as the "forest ranger's house".

Very, very idyllic and quiet hut. There are benches and, most importantly, a trash can! From here it's not far to the Dilsbergerhof.
