if children are hiking on this tour, take some balls with you (slightly smaller than table tennis balls) so they can have some fun at this station.

Attention: This sofa is currently (August 17, 2025) better suited for stargazing than for enjoying a panoramic view of the Kraichgau region (the spring seems to have weakened, causing the sofa to tip backwards easily, and those with limited mobility might have difficulty righting it!). Therefore, a photo with a perspective of the treetops has been included here…
