The hut was open - definitely a nice alternative to bad weather or if you want to sit and watch. Otherwise you can see just as well or better from the shore in front of the door. There was little to see in January. ;-)

In May the door was open. Hut is OK. Unfortunately there wasn't much to see in May. But that's not the fault of the hut 😄

Perfect for a break! A gigantic shelter almost like an outdoor camp, which offers perfect weather protection inside. Inside there are a few information boards and newspaper clippings. If you sit down at the tables in peace, you can certainly observe game from time to time in the clearing. There is a sandy surface in the hut and since many a child is probably dancing on the tables... 🤨 there is a hand brush ready to sweep the bench and table beforehand. The refuge is not signposted from the path and can hardly be seen (at least if you go via the E1).
