Five years ago there was a small stall here. But even so, the rest area with tables and benches and a view of the Heinrichsburg is very nice.

A lot has changed since our last visit: windows and a spiral staircase have been installed. There is a kind of knights' hall on the first floor. You can now climb the tower for 10 zloty.

Small rest area right next to the Heinrichsburg. There used to be a small stand here with drinks and a snack bar. Currently (2024) you have to bring your own picnic.
