Two or three marble benches for a short break. Idyllic setting with grassy ground by the Spree. The weir allowed water to flow to the mill located downstream.

Narrow, mostly tarred path along the Spree, which is dammed here. Occasional tree root bumps. And many opportunities to take a break on the bank.
