This point marks the border between the two federal states of Hesse and Bavaria. You can continue along the cycle path on a racing bike, but there are only about 100 meters of gravel, so you just have to be careful.

A large shelter with a barbecue area and additional seating. It's close to Wolfsmünster without directly overlooking the village. A paved road with little (tractor) traffic surrounds the site.
