Apart from the Kastanienhof, whose opening hours must be strictly observed, there is no refreshment stop on the route. It would be nice if there were a marking of the Regiomaten (Dattenbachstrasse Ehlhalten and Niederjosbach Parkplatz on the left shortly before the train station).

From here, the Kellerskopf mountain with its observation tower can be seen very well in the background.
