Seit 2019 lädt die im schönen Wandergebiet Werraquelle gelegene Berghütte auf 800 m Höhe Ski-, Wander- und Radfahrer mit modern-rustikalem Interieur, großzügiger Terrasse und exquisiter Speisekarte zum Verweilen ein. Kulinarisch bietet das Haus hochwertige, saisonale Kost aus der Region. Insbesondere die feinen Steak-Gerichte sind ein saftiger Genuss – zubereitet auf dem hauseigenen Lavasteingrill mit Fleisch von heimischen Rindern. Dazu bereichern deutsche Qualitätsweine die Getränkekarte, die Desserts und Kuchen – ebenfalls aus heimischen Zutaten – sind nicht nur eine Gaumenfreude, sondern ein wirklicher Hingucker. Doch auch Liebhaber fleischloser Gerichte kommen hier voll auf ihre Kosten. So bieten etwa Büffelmozzarella mit herzhaftem Grillgemüse oder heiß dampfende Ofenkartoffeln mit Lachs genug Anlass zu leichtem Genuss vor der herrlichen Kulisse des Thüringer Waldes. Der Name der Hütte rührt übrigens von der nahe gelegenen ersten Quelle des Flusses Werra, die 1898 in heimischen Naturstein gefasst wurde und Thüringens bekanntes Fließgewässer heute über den Rachen eines goldenen Löwenkopfes unter den blauen Himmel entlässt. Tipp: Das am Weg gelegene Haus ist ideal geeignet für einen ausgedehnten Zwischenstopp auf einer Rennsteig-Radweg-Tour!
