I'm looking for a specific SF book(1970-1990): main character in this book has to flee and arrives on an unknown, seemingly uninhabited planet

Summary as far as I can remember:
The main character in this book has to flee for a reason unknown to me?
He arrives on an unknown, seemingly uninhabited planet, which had a high technical civilization in the past.
After some wanderings, he gets into a cabin (a kind of telephone box) and then he notices that his gray hair has regained its original color.
The cabin he used seems to have some sort of rejuvenation effect through cell regeneration?

I don't remember much more, I read the book from the library years ago and would like to read it again or buy it second hand.

I hope this helps you and await your reply.

Jan, I copied some plot details to the topic header, as an example. Feel free to edit it.

Is this book written for adults?

Did you read this book around 1970-1990 - or is this when you think it was published?
