Some paths are very steep and bumpy, so you should be fit.

Very beautiful shelter, next to it a memorial stone in memory of Harald Krug, a recognized conservationist. From the hut you can observe the bird protection and breeding area of the little grebe, marsh harrier, bittern, lapwing or crane through hatches. An informative board explains the post-mining landscape of the Bockwitz nature reserve.

The Alpine-style mountain hut is located in the middle of the town of Pähnitz and is easy to reach from the direction of the Windischleuba dam.
