Very nice resting place with a barbecue area. Unfortunately, it looked (at least when we were here) like a garbage dump - unbelievable!!

The tower is open on Sundays and public holidays from the beginning of April to the end of October.

The Juxkopfhütte is an absolute highlight for every hiking fan! A rustic wooden hut, perched on a mountain top, offering you a 360-degree panoramic view that even the clouds will be jealous of. Here you can unwind and enjoy the fresh air of the Swabian-Franconian Forest to the fullest. With 16 cozy beds, the hut is the ideal retreat, whether you've spent the day exploring the forest or just want to put your feet up. And best of all: there's a barbecue area and a playground! Ideal for daredevil grill masters and little adventurers who want to let off some energy. From the beginning of April to the end of October, the hut is open to anyone who wants to have a good time in nature. So, grab your hiking gear, get ready for a bit of "jux" and head off to the mountains!
