Very nice hostess, very tasty food 👍. If you don't want to risk starving at the next hut up above, you should stop here 😄. (July 2025)

Today we hiked to the Schweinfurter Hut. Along the way, we passed beautiful flower meadows with plenty of grazing cattle. An absolute must for nature lovers seeking peace and quiet. It took us 1 hour 40 minutes from the Niedertai parking lot to the Schweinfurter Hut. Everything was great, the hostess was very friendly, and the food was delicious... we'll be back.

At the summit, you have a beautiful 360-degree view. If you start your hike from Umhausen, you can take the suspension bridge over the waterfall. The ascent via Niederthai is very pleasant throughout, with no dangerous sections. It gets a bit steeper at times, but it's always easy to walk, mostly shaded by the forest. With a good level of fitness, you can reach the top from the waterfall in just under 3 hours. ```
