The hiking home "Dicke Eiche" (also known as Hauensteiner Hütte ) is a refuge in the Palatinate Forest managed by the local Hauenstein club of the Palatinate Forest Association . It is located in the German part of the Wasgau above the source valley of the Queich . The hut is at an altitude of 405 m .
history
The hiking house was built in 1973. The present extended building was inaugurated in 1994. The eponymous tree was a 300-year-old oak that was sawn in 1994 for vandalism and then had to be felled for safety reasons in 2011.
Access and walks
Access from Hauenstein can be through the Queichtal or on the mountain via the Kreuzelfelsen, Weimersberg , Backelstein and Hühnerstein . The hut can also be easily reached from the surrounding villages of Schwanheim , Darstein , Schindhard and Erfweiler . The neighboring huts of the Palatinate Forest Association are the Wasgauhütte and the Drachenfelshütte . Other nearby hiking huts are the Paddelweiher Hut , the Cramerhaus and the Bärenbrunnerhof . Because of the possibility to stay overnight, the hut is suitable as a station for long-distance hikes.
