A nice little rest area invites you to linger. It also offers good orientation with its "Nessetal" network of hiking and cycling trails. Both the disposal of rubbish and a good place to park the bikes have been thought of here.

The stone stood abandoned on the meadow for a long time and was recently restored to commemorate Erich Schneider.
