Unfortunately, the restaurant is “hardly” still open. Opening times can be requested by telephone.
A spontaneous stop is hardly possible anymore. Be sure to pay attention to the notices on the main path ascent.

January 18, 2025,🇩🇪 🌞 auf den Breiteberg genießen.

Unfortunately the lodge is closed until February 6, 2025, as is the observation tower. The beautiful sun is a little deceptive, as the air in the foothills of the clouds was very bad.

May 27, 2025,abends mal schnell auf den Breiteberg

No one was there for dinner, so I packed a sandwich and a beer in my backpack and drove towards Bertsdorf, once again past my parents' house (I shouldn't have done that), to the hiking car park at Seidelsberg.
From there, you can take a leisurely hike along the LPG Plattenstraße to Breiteberg. A short detour to the Querxenhöhle cave …
