Warning about a naked man! When we were on the Westweg and sleeping around the barbecue area in front of the hut, we encountered a completely naked, confused man there at 6:00. He came to us at the barbecue area, said a few incomprehensible words and then went back in the direction he had come from. We were very frightened. According to a jogger who passed by the hut a few minutes later, the naked man often runs around this area and is a "harmless weirdo".
