Along the Wilisch cycle path, near the "Schüllermühle" mill, a rest area invites visitors to linger. Here, visitors will find not only seating but also an information panel and a diorama illustrating the settlement history of Gelenau. The individual elements were created as part of the Gelenau Chainsaw Event 2022. https://www.gelenau.de/news/2022-2/rastplatz
