There are two comfortable curved benches here. I needed a rest as just before reaching this point you have to climb a very difficult section up through a ravine where the surface is very poor. The views at these benches looks through distant mountains and are worthy views

The name of the viewing point at “Galgenberg” indicates a historical use, as gallows hills were often places where punishments used to be carried out.

You have to "incorporate" this little stretch into your tour. Simply brilliant, especially when it is at the end of a tour.
