This newly built hut (2025) is truly a luxurious break spot: a forest sofa, a grill, weather-protected, sturdy tables and seating, and even more benches outside with a fantastic view. Perfect for larger groups, too! A picnic station and a trolley commemorating the basalt mining are also available.

The area was significantly expanded and renaturalized through major clearing and mulching work in October 2024. It is a habitat for rare plant species that have been scientifically recorded.

In autumn 2024, the aging black shelter was replaced with a new structure. A panoramic lounger was also installed to better enjoy the view all the way to the Siegquelle spring on the Ederkopf in the Rothaargebirge.
