A beautiful stamp point in an old orchard. In spring, you can also admire orchids here.

Above Burgwenden (about 1.5 km uphill from the town exit sign), next to the parking lot, is this "recreational and scout site." Anyone can use it as they please—children especially enjoy it. There's a portable toilet and a brick barbecue/fire pit.
