From now on, it's: Alpine hut and alpine inn at one location in Bad Laer near Osnabrück! Something is always going on here at the Flötzinger Alm! Sometimes you can relax and enjoy your time with us during the day, other times you can dance to Bavarian folk music, or a DJ will provide the best atmosphere like on May 1st or our popular Schlager ALM Party. Whether you want to celebrate, dance, or simply spend a cozy evening with friends – you've come to the right place. Quelle: https://floetzinger-alm.de/

Here you can still hop over the Hase River. There's also a shelter.
