The Höfener Hütte is idyllically located on the way to the Feldberg. From the terrace, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Dreisamtal, with Himmelreich lying below. The delicious dumpling dishes and constantly changing homemade cakes are particularly popular.

Escaped the Freiburg fog with the family and drove comfortably to the Höfener Hütte. From there, hiked to the Hinterwaldkopf in a not too sporty way. Thanks to the inversion weather there was a bright blue sky and warming sun. Sometimes nice too 😍
