In my personal ranking, I divide the komoot highlights into those that offer something great (special viewpoints, cultural sights ...) and others that I classify as "useful to know", such as hiking car parks and rest huts. In the latter sense, a practical rest hut with enough space and benches on three sides.

The view extends as far as the Siebengebirge. At least you are well protected from rain if it is not too stormy.

Well-maintained shelter at an important junction, good for a rest especially in rainy weather.

There is a refuge on the summit of the Bertenauer Kopf. When it's windy, there's a draft in the hut, at least on your head. From there you have a great view towards the Siebengebirge!
