This small hut with a bench in front of it stands on the side of the road between Dübbekold and Nieperfitz, next to a small pond. It's ideal for taking a break on a hike or bike ride. It's very quiet here.

The Michelshof is an international training center for ecological agriculture including the inclusion of people who are disadvantaged elsewhere. Old breeds of domestic animals can be experienced up close. Two colorful parks can also be "walked over", which you should do.
