Great view over the landscape of the Hunsrück. The triangular refuge is an original and beautiful place to breathe after the climb.

Ascent to Klingelfloß Shelter

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Hut

This is the steepest part of the dream ring Klingelfloß and leads along a stream along quite steeply up to the refuge Klingelfloß. The path is well worn and some places require good footwear or at least patience.

Apollo Mine and Shelter

In the pit Apollo was searched for ores. In front of the entrance of the tunnel, which is not accessible, there is a beautiful refuge.

No idea where that is at the Klingelfloß but it's probably cool too

Nice hut with a place to rest. But you can't go into the hut!

This is a site that was inhabited by people thousands of years ago, as can be proven by archaeological finds. Visitors of our modern times are invited to stay at least for a short time. Some will certainly be happy to take advantage of the opportunity offered here after the climb.

To be honest, the name leaves me a little perplexed: why did someone back then come up with the - to me incomprehensible - idea of naming an ore mine in the Hunsrück after the deity Apollo from Greek mythology, and the god of the sea at that?

Unfortunately, the tunnel entrance is blocked by a massive grille. It is also completely flooded. A pity!

At the end of 2022, a "wobbly bridge" was added as an optional crossing, on which you can climb over freely suspended timber.
