Here at the Sensenhammer is also the jungle path of the bpsw. further up into the Vessertal. A great and worth seeing piece of forest highway which is great to drive.

A really great place to take a break. A large table with a bench in the sun invites you to linger. A great carved tree artwork decorates this place and reminds of the diversity of the animal world in the Thuringian Forest.
