Unfortunately, this wonderful piece of art no longer exists; only the bench with the legs remains.

A rest area with a shelter and other picnic areas—especially suitable for families. Here, you can play in and around the Baybach stream when the weather's nice.

The "Rutsch" (rock) is a wonderful resting place in the Baybachtal and, especially in summer, a kind of water playground.
