Here, where the signs "Spülfeld" stand, the camp's feces were dumped until the Rieselfelder were completed. Where the new building stands, there was a pumping station from 1906 that pumped the wastewater from the military camp to the Rieselfelder.

Unfortunately, the originally beautiful path has been paved with coarse gravel. A challenge on foot, a disaster on a bike.
