Boowald Forest House

Highlight • Mountain Hut

One of the umpteen forest houses in the Boowald. Formerly primarily intended as a shelter for forest workers, today it invites you to small parties in the forest. In contrast to some others, this is very well maintained.

Great little spot in the forest for a picnic or a barbecue. You can take shelter in the hut if the weather's bad. A few metres away there's a great wooden play area for children and a barefoot trail.

Malerweidhütte barbecue area

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The pretty Malerweidhütte also got a great grill and benches from the Rotaryclub.
On the other side is a covered seat with a table and benches, which is currently (May 2020) in a somewhat sad state.

In about 2.5 hours you can take a wonderful hike from the zoo along the Kobold Trail to Aspisee. I have rarely walked through such a pretty forest. In many places you feel like you are in a fairytale book. Lots of moss, special trees and wonderful winding paths. After a rainy day you run the risk of getting wet feet on some sections of the route ;-)

What about longer tours such as 6 -12 days with overnight stays. In huts like the Waldhütte in Melchnau, you may be allowed to lie down with a sleeping bag?
