Here on the cycle path there is a small rest area with a small spring right next to the lock. If you want to take a quick break, this is the right place for you.

Located directly in front of Heckengereuth, the rest area has been given the name View of the Heckengereuther Meer, as can be read on the bench. This of course refers to the reservoir, which can be seen from here. A rest with a view is therefore possible.

Beautiful mountain lake near Schleusingen. Right next to the entrance area is a dirt road that also takes you directly to the water.

This opportunity to take a break is located directly on the cycle path. A dispenser, unfortunately only with water, is also available.
