Nice place to take a break. Benches and table, as well as a little variety. And afterwards it goes along the orchards.

A very beautiful bird watching station directly on the Werra Unstrut cycle path. There are several possibilities to look directly into the Ried to make your discoveries. Furthermore, there is an information board regarding the birds in the Ried.

Beautiful suspension bridge completed in 2019. It is 180 meters long and 23 meters high. The maximum passage width is 0.85 meters. A highlight, in my opinion, is the "Brüchenbuch", where you can document your impressions. The signage and parking facilities leave something to be desired.
