At this point, the Grabener Allee crosses the Pfinz-Entlastungskanal. The otherwise 15 km long, perfectly straight road makes a small detour because of the bridge.

Hut located on the Grabener Allee (the longest of the avenues radiating from the castle) from 1912 with a covered seating area. The Hirschgraben runs alongside the Allee to the Galgengraben (the Alte Bach). The two ditches meet at the picnic tables.
