A truly wonderful, beautiful spot. The hut has a lovely arbor. Tables and benches are set up along the vineyards. The people are very friendly. Even though the hut wasn't open when we were there, we were treated to a delicious wine spritzer.

A very beautiful, intensely scented pine forest. Very well shot with many small trails. Excellent technical training for those who are a little less confident in the terrain. Feel free to ride off-road on the smaller trails!

The following test (excerpt) is on the plaque at the shelter: Rieden was of considerable importance for the surrounding villages in the Middle Ages and the early modern period, as it was the seat of the Eichelberg Centenary Court until its dissolution in the early 18th century. Rieden was thus the place of jurisdiction for the villages surrounding the Eichelsberg (a hill between Fährbrück and Rieden). Civil disputes were heard under the chairmanship of the Centenary Count in the historic town hall in Rieden. Criminal cases, however, were judged in the open air on the Eichelberg. A special feature of the Eichelberg Centenary Court is said to have been a kind of ordeal. In the fields, there were supposedly so-called "Niemasa-Plätzli," small squares of a few square meters, located at several locations. If a criminal was sentenced to death, he was released again. After reciting three "Our Fathers," a rider was sent after the condemned man. If the condemned man reached one of the "Niemasa-Plätzli" (Niemasa-Plätzli) before the rider caught up with him, the death penalty was pardoned. According to tradition, the name "Schindersbrünnle" for the source of the Seebach stream refers to the fact that the executioner is said to have washed here after his work.
