Here at the Quenzgraben and at the Anton-Saefkow-Allee is this old rest area, which is still usable and in order. The square is located roughly in the middle between two stops of tram line 1 to Brandenburg, Anton-Saefkow-Allee and Waldcafé Görden.

From afar, the rest area looks a bit unsightly. However, it is completely intact and usable.
