The charcoal burner's hut is a shelter in the Hube municipal forest of Einbeck. It offers hikers a protected resting place and its construction is reminiscent of charcoal burning in the 18th and 19th centuries, when charcoal was an important raw material. The hut is located directly on the Fairy Tale Forest circular trail, making it ideal both as a stopover and as a starting point for exploring the diverse surroundings. Well-maintained paths lead through dense woodland all around the hut. Besides the rustling of leaves in the wind, with a bit of luck you might also hear the songs of forest birds.

The Einbeck Fairy Tale Forest lies on the Hube ridge above Einbeck. This ancient deciduous forest is largely left to its own devices: gnarled oaks, mighty beeches, and bizarrely shaped hornbeams characterize the landscape. Some of these giants are said to be over 250 years old. With 22 different tree species, the forest is quite biodiverse. A richly structured habitat has formed among tree hollows, deadwood, mosses, and fungi, providing shelter and food for many animals. You can explore it on the Fairy Tale Forest circular trail. The three-kilometer path leads you past 15 stations through the atmospheric forest.

The Einbeck municipal forest lies predominantly on the Hube ridge and has been owned by the city since the 13th century. The timber from the forest was used for house construction and heating. For a long time, it was managed as a wood-pasture and later as a coppice forest. Since the opening of the Kaiser-Friedrich Tower in 1900, the forest has also become a popular destination for outings. Today, numerous paths wind through the lush greenery among oaks, ash trees, maples, and hornbeams.
