萨克森-迈宁根
In 1867 the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen had the first surveys carried out on the Geba, during which the first log cabin was built as protection from the weather. On 2 June 1897 the first Meininger Hut ("Meininger Hütte") was inaugurated in the presence of Duke George II. The hut was later extended. In the decades that followed, the Geba developed into a popular destination for walkers and holidaymakers looking for peace and relaxation, thanks to its good views.
