Simply beautiful to walk the path. Keep your eyes open and you can observe dragonflies, nutria, trout, and ducks.

The old town hall formerly served as a sales hall for bread and meat products, a frequently used dance floor, a prison (known as the "Narrenhäuslein"), a fire extinguisher's house, and a post office. Later, it housed the savings bank. Today, the old town hall houses the residents' registration office, the passport office, the assembly hall, and the wedding hall.
