The name goes back to English pioneers who built the lodge in the 1970s. In 2010/2011 the dilapidated lodge was pulled down and completely rebuilt with subsidies of the Naturpark Südschwarzwald (Southern Black Forest Nature Reserve).
The England lodge is a very popular destination for a rest during a hiking tour. It’s on the intersection of several trails: Panorama trail, the pasture nature trail and a winter hiking trail.
