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

It's worth a quick stop, as this type of pump is quite rare, as you can read.

When we finally arrived at the roundabout, we were amazed and delighted by the magnificent view. The Sondershausen roundabout is a semicircular structure built in 1910, with a World War II memorial dedicated in 1929, located on the Hainleite ridge. Located at 390 meters above sea level, it serves as a vantage point, including views of Sondershausen's town center and the Harz Mountains.
