There is also room for a group to take a break in the shelter. Waste bin included. Around the corner there is a forest sofa with a view of Hohenleimbach. The second half of the Bergheidenweg is not quite as interesting as the first half.

The second half of the path is no longer quite as scenic in terms of landscape as the first half, unfortunately a large part of it is on country roads
