Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. You will stay in a rustical cabin which is located on the top of the Teufelsmühle mountain in the Black Forest National Park. This is a perfect place for photographers, hikers, mountain-bikers and people who love nature.

The space
You will have a Room with one single Bed and a Bunkbed. Toilet and shower is outside of the room, on weekends the toilet is shared with the restaurant guests. The cabin is located on a 908m high mountain which lies between the valleys of the Murg in the west and the Alb in the east. It is easily accessible by car and you can enjoy a vast choice of mountain-bike and hiking trails. In addition, there is a lookout tower next to the cabin, from which, when the visibility is good, you can view over the whole scenery. On the ground floor of the cabin is a restaurant, it is open Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30 to 18:00 and offers German and Ukranian specialities, cakes and drinks.

You will be able to park your car in a courtyard with a video surveillance and use grill on the terrace or in the garden of the restaurant.

Other things to note
You are booking a mountain cabin in the middle of nowhere.
There are no shops, restaurants, no entertainment around, only beautiful, protected nature preserve with a sightseeing tower. Closest town is about 10 km away.
The house is off-the-grid - drinking water is being carried up by us, electricity is generated using solar panels, wastewater is cleaned using our own sewage treatment plant, heat is made with firewood - it is not easy for us to provide conditions that people usually see as something obvious, but we try as hard as we can. We would appreciate if you would keep that in mind and be as energy efficient as possible.
The toilet is a shared and is a part of the restaurant. The shower is located in a separate room in the womens' toilette.
Since we get quite a few non-5-star ratings, because people don't read the description carefully, here is the password you should send to us in a message: "Top of the World". This password will be necessary to stay here.
We suggest checking the weather forecast before booking, because when the weather is bad in the city, it is way worse up here on the mountain - temperature is colder and winds are much stronger, clouds might be so thick that you can hardly walk.
Please also note, that we have 7 cats on the premises. They do not enter the guest room, but mostly live outside.
