The small bridge carries the wooden boardwalk over the Stranggraben at this point, which flows into the Großer Stienitzsee a few meters further on.

There are relatively few rest areas along the 66 Lakes Trail. Here, there's a table and benches for a break, although there's no shelter, so you can still rest for a while.

For many years there has been a well-maintained seating area with a table and benches in the middle of the forest and close to the Eastern Railway.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can simply jump into the water here. But the view is worth it at any time of year and day.

I walked the path at night. Even without moonlight it was easy to see and nice to walk. The path is free of roots and you have many beautiful views of the city. Best on a bright moonlit night, of course.
