A small, fine, shady pond. With seating. Perfect for a break in the summer heat. I particularly liked the surface of water lilies on the pond's surface.

A nice, shady spot with seating. It's even possible to go around it, but beware: in shorts, it can definitely have a "circulation-boosting" effect, thanks to the nettles :)

just before you have to cross the Rabnitz. Here you could let your wet socks and shoes dry briefly and take a final break.
