Great rest stop on the bike path for several people. A little tip: very close by, at the Enders fruit farm, there are vending machines selling regional products; one of them has delicious ice cream (about 200 meters towards Albisheim).

In the restored section of the Selz river, the beaver has built a large lodge and dammed the river to create a small lake. It looks absolutely fantastic.
