Königliche Jagdhütte, Royal hunting cabin in Breitenholz, Ammerbuch, Germany
The royal hunting lodge is a wooden cabin in Breitenholz near Ammerbuch with a living room, kitchen, cellar, horse stable, and carriage house built in Swiss architectural style. From its location, the building offers wide views toward Ammer Valley and Neckar Valley.
Prince Wilhelm of Württemberg commissioned this hunting cabin in 1888 and later used it as a preferred place for handling government matters. The building became woven into the political and social life of its era.
The leather guestbook with silver fittings holds signatures, photographs, and sketches left by nobility, hunters, and political figures over many years. These entries show who came here and what the cabin meant to them.
The cabin can be reached via several trails from Entringen and Bebenhausen, though path conditions may vary by season. It is advisable to bring weather-appropriate clothing and good walking shoes, as the terrain is hilly.
Near the cabin stands the Signal Oak, a distinctive tree that was once used for flag communication with other royal establishments in the region. This method of long-distance messaging was a practical way to send quick signals between distant locations in that era.
