PWV Hütte, here there is good wine and delicious food made according to grandma's recipe. Here it is still quaint, a slightly smaller indoor area, large outdoor area with children's playground. On quiet evenings you can also see one or the other wild animal in the nearby clearing. A large hiking car park is nearby, ideal for seniors or small children for mini hikes. Here you can find sweet chestnuts at the right time of year (first come, first served)

Located directly on the Ungeheuersee, very large outdoor area. When I'm there it's always closed.... I've never seen the hut in use (there are probably only a few days a week here) Managed by the PWV, it will probably be difficult to find volunteers?!?!?! But if you are self-sufficient, you will always find plenty of seating here for a picnic.
