I keep asking myself what the HL is supposed to represent in a shelter. By the way, there are a few more shelters in Gräingholz and Süggel. Going along and setting HL brings plenty of points for the experts and pioneers of the forests 🤣🤣🤣 Like in Ammerland, there are also such shelter pioneers there 🤪🤪 Is an umbrella also a HL? Because it also offers protection 🤣

The weather hut is now a bit old, but it does what it's supposed to do. The big sign outside saying "No staying after 8pm" probably tells you what the problem is... My impression was: great for shelter, there are lots of nicer places in Olfen for a pleasant break!

The shelter makes a very solid impression and should withstand any weather. Even a few bicycles can find space here.
