Top 20 Huts and Cabins around Sankt Bernhard

The Steinbauer-Seebers Hut (often simply called the Seeber Hut or something similar) is located on the Kleiner Gleichberg near Römhild in Thuringia. The hut is named after Steinbauer Seeber, a figure associated with the forestry and hiking development of the Gleichberge area. The hut is situated at an altitude of approximately 530 meters on the ascent to the Kleiner Gleichberg. The area around the Kleiner Gleichberg is known for the Steinsburg Museum (Celtic culture) and as a hiking area (near the Waldhaus). It is a typical shelter in the Gleichberge forest, serving as a rest stop.

Surely not even the two mysterious gentlemen themselves would have ever suspected that their stay here would last more than thirty years when they arrived in Hildburghausen on February 7, 1807. That evening, an elegantly dressed couple checked into the English Court Hotel and, from then on, attracted attention with their strange hermit lifestyle. This very conspicuously secluded lifestyle intensified after they moved to the castle in the neighboring village of Einhausen. Above all, no one saw the always-veiled lady. She died in the solitude of Einhausen Castle on November 25, 1837, and was buried—according to her wishes—on Hildburghausen's town hill.

The actual grave (not a cellar hole) is further up and you have to follow the path for another 100 meters.

Very beautiful and beautifully decorated shelter in the immediate vicinity of the Dark Countess's grave.

The wildlife enclosure in Hildburghausen invites parents and children to enjoy a lovely walk. A circular path leads directly around the enclosure. The enclosure covers a total of approximately eight hectares and offers plenty of space for many animals. This allows families to quietly observe red deer, fallow deer, and mouflon in their natural habitat. Of course, other animals such as squirrels and various bird species can also be observed in the enclosure. Along the trail, there are several viewing platforms from which walkers can enjoy a fantastic view of the grounds. It's also worth bringing binoculars for an even better view of the animals. Families can explore the wildlife enclosure in the Heiligen Grund area by the "Walled Ponds."

The free parking lot is located at the end of Basaltwerkstraße. It is best to park on the left side of the road. We parked on the right side and were in the full summer heat in the afternoon. The small Liegelbergschutzhütte invites you to linger. There you will find brochure material about the Gleichberg area, but also helpful hiking trail signs. We found this place to be very lovingly and richly detailed. It is a joy to look at this place.

The free parking lot is located at the end of Basaltwerkstraße. It is best to park on the left side of the street. Our car was in full sun on the right side in the afternoon. A small shelter invites you to linger at the end of the hike. You can also find brochures there, as well as many helpful hiking trail signs.

Plain but quite generously sized shelter halfway up (530 meters -> summit of the Kl. Gleichberg then 641 meters). So a somewhat larger hiking group could also find space here.
