Great views of Bad Neustadt, Neuhaus, Mühlbach with Grasberg, and to the southwest Salz with its parish church. Furthermore, a magnificent view opens up to the Rhön Mountains with the Black Mountains to the west, Kreuzberg, Himmeldunk, Heidelstein, and the High Rhön.

A very large pool, indeed, with cold water (not a given in the summer heat). But be careful: It can be slippery, and due to its size, the handrails are far apart.
