Zwäntzer „Lieblingsplatzl“ in new attire since November 2024. "It's a magnificent view over our hometown from the old railway track across the valley towards the tower of the Holy Trinity Church and on to Ziegenberg, when it's not raining. A place to pause and be grateful that we can live so idyllically. Here you can enjoy the vastness and feel a sense of belonging." In May 2024, two wave benches were purchased for this beautiful "Platzl" and a photo frame was added later. https://zwoenitzer-anzeiger.de/2024/11/12/zwaentzer-lieblingsplatzl-in-neuem-gewand/
