Carpenter Marko Klopsch had the artwork welded from old wind turbines. The ropes were knotted in a collaborative effort by several villagers. They represent the connection between the villagers and are intended to capture living spaces.

The old station now houses the "Tasse und Teller" cafe. They serve coffee, cake, and small dishes, but don't expect large portions, and the service drops off abruptly once served. It's a real shame. Perhaps the view of the heritage railway, which departs from here every weekend between May and October, as well as on Advent weekends, makes up for it. Those interested are also welcome to visit the maintenance workshop on operating days, where additional vehicles can be viewed.
