Thirty souls. That’s the capacity of the Tiengener Hütte. Imagine this humble shelter nestled in the southern part of Freiburg’s Mooswald forest. It sits at the edge of a large meadow near the Schlatthofstraße. The Tiengener Hütte isn’t grand. It’s a simple wooden structure. Yet it holds a special charm.
The Tiengener Hütte is more than just a hut. It’s a gateway to nature. It’s a place for quiet reflection. It’s a spot where friends gather. It’s easily accessible by car. You can drive right up to it. Inside you’ll find benches and tables. A Swedish stove provides warmth on chilly days. Solar panels offer light. But there are no electrical outlets. Remember that. No laptops. No electric music. That’s a strict rule. The Landeswaldgesetz prohibits generators. Keep the noise down.
Outside there’s a grill. Six picnic tables await. Bring your own wood. The forest is quiet. But the Tiengener Hütte has a unique feature. A portable toilet. It’s not fancy. It’s a basic construction toilet. But at least there’s somewhere to go. Mosquitos can be a problem depending on the season. Take precautions.
The Tiengener Hütte is managed by Freiburg’s city forestry department. They rent it out. It costs 90 euros for weekends and holidays. Weekdays are 60 euros. The rental period is 24 hours. It starts at noon. A simple place. Yet it offers a unique experience. It is a refuge. A reminder of simple pleasures. And a perfect place to enjoy the Mooswald.
