A visit during the week is definitely recommended. It's a direct marketer offering a wide range of fresh meat and sausage products. The milk vending machine is accessible 24/7.

A small rest area at the Vogelwiese (bird meadow) on the Lindenbach stream. Also suitable as a starting and ending point. Parking is available nearby.
