On the gently ascending serpentines of the forest road, constantly accompanied by the breathtaking panorama of the Bösenstein group, you reach the Wichtelhütte. Well known to all skiers in winter, the terrace of the hut, which is closed in summer, offers a fantastic panoramic view and is therefore ideal as a picnic spot.

You can get a heavenly picnic at the local department store.
