The hut has a nice terrace and friendly service, the selection of hot dishes was rather modest (soups, meat dishes, sausages), but they are tasty 😋

For the last stretch to the summit, it's better to leave the bike behind, then you won't have to struggle unnecessarily. Even riding back is only fun for enduro enthusiasts, and avoiding hikers is almost impossible.
