Viewpoint and rest area at Lac de Kruth‑Wildenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is even nicer to hike up the waterfall. In the right season you can find z. B. plenty of toadstools ;-)

Hinterbockloch Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Perfect shelter, really a "refuge" - because you can only hope that you arrive frozen and other hikers have already heated up.
