If you walk along the Hünenteichweg, you will repeatedly come across very well-maintained and, above all, clean toilet blocks. So, hiker, remember that what you hoped for is also what your successor hopes for.

I have driven past the Betteleiche several times. By chance, because I took a different route, I came across this hut. It's nice and big and has room for lots of guests. There's even a toilet house right next to it. You don't see something like that very often.
