The striking three-meter-high bear statue in front of the hut is a reference to the nearby bear cave, which is known for its numerous finds of cave bear bones. But the region has much more to offer: at an altitude of 1,023 meters, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view, homemade cider and the warm hospitality of the Postl family. The hut is open on weekends and public holidays during certain seasons and offers groups the opportunity to stay overnight. Guests praise not only the spectacular view, but also the good food and the popular cherry liqueur.
