Cozy family business at 1,372 meters above sea level, embedded in a wooded area with a wonderful view. The valley station of the Arabichl lift is also located here, direct access to the changing panoramic trail is possible.

Unfortunately, from the Bärenlacke to the border triangle, I didn't notice that my watch's battery was dead. Then I plugged it into the power bar and charged it up to the Wetterkoglerhaus. After that, it was back on my wrist. 😊
