Wonderful view of the volcanic cones of the Hegau. The hut was locked. There is a small barbecue area and a few seats with a table. The area is relatively small. The hiking trail and mountain bike trail lead right past.

Beautiful view of the volcanic cones and the city of Singen. Definitely worth it if there is good visibility.

Barbecue area Vorderhütten, right next to it is the observation tower of the same name. You can't see Stammheim from the square, only from the lookout tower.
