May 11, 2026, Schutzhütte Pumpwerkweg im Staatswald Schweitzener Hardt

A welcoming shelter in the Schweitzener Hardt forest — perfect for a rest break. Benches and shade make it a great mid-ride stop. Well-signposted and easy to find along the Pumpwerkweg path.

The shelter is located at the entrance to a peaceful forest. You can be buried here in the forest. It's also beautifully quiet here, the shelter is practical, and has a charming name. A wood carving of a squirrel is within sight.

This shelter, also known as the pensioner's hut, was built in 1969 by the then mayor Karl Bettag. It is a popular resting place for hikers and cyclists and offers a nice opportunity to take a break and enjoy nature.
