In the immediate vicinity there is a wetland biotope, the Grauental spring and opposite a beautiful barbecue area. However, this is currently closed due to illegal waste burning and is therefore also under video surveillance🙈.

There are two fountains here (Schäferbrunnen and Grauentalquelle). There is also a wetland biotope and a beautifully laid out barbecue area with firewood nearby. The barbecue area cannot be used at the moment (illegal waste burning🙈). It is now also under video surveillance.
