Mary's Hütte is located directly on the Glückauf route. You can sit inside, but when the weather is nice, the spacious terrace invites you. The cabin is lovingly furnished with modern touches and is fairly new.

During your stay, you can also plug your cell phone / bike battery into the socket (if you have the right USB cable / charger with you). Nice, relaxed service despite the hustle and bustle.
