The "Schneckenhäusle" is an idyllic shelter in the middle of the forest on the Riesbach – a real insider tip for hikers and nature lovers. It was built in 1996/97, and anyone who finds it immediately understands why it is so popular. Because this hut is far more than a simple shelter: it is furnished with great attention to detail – almost like a small living room in the forest.
