Many abbeys in Europe are famed for their breweries. On any given Sunday (particularly if the weather is good) there is a steady caravan of walkers, hikers, Sunday strollers aiming for the abbey kitchens to sample the hearty food and of course, the beer.

And into the forest we go

The area around the Trifels in the south west of Germany near the French border is one large forest criss-crossed by hiking paths. There are huts in the woods, most only open on weekends. They are often operated by volunteers of German hiking societies. Their appearance is rustic and so is the food on offer: simple, hearty and usually one menu fits all. Simple but very welcome after a hours of hiking.

This hut is near Annweiler, it’s the

Boechinger Pottaschtalhütte
