Currently closed Mondays and Saturdays, unfortunately due to staffing shortages, isn't that the norm these days? What's up to Gen Z???

Memorial to the Battle of Kirburg. Let's hope there will never be another battle here.

Beautiful paths around the pond. If you want to walk all the way around, it's about 1.3km.

Esswerk 5 is located in the Weitefeld industrial park. Delicious snacks include currywurst, schnitzel, burgers, pasta, and steak.

The memorial stone is easy to miss when cycling at a brisk pace. But it's worth stopping and taking a moment to admire both the inscription and the magnificent views.
