Tips from the Community
Next to the actual railway embankment, which is relatively strenuous to walk on, there is a very easy asphalt path. The route leads mainly through the forest.

I really like the shelter that was added later. It protects the bench better and allows you to quickly take shelter from wind and weather. It's very comfortable to sit there.

A beautiful spot to linger, with a lovely carved wooden bench. Especially lovely in the morning at sunrise. Definitely worth a stop.
