Here you can take a break. There is an Eifel lounger and a table with benches.

Only vaguely visible from the Bahntrassenradweg due to the vegetation, but a beautiful reservoir.

Very nice rest area. Located in the immediate vicinity of the Mooskreuz and Wiesbachteich, two benches with a table and a relaxation lounger invite you to linger.

"The Landal campsite near Stadtkyll appears on the internet as if its world were all right. But she isn't here either. The place is closed. No info anywhere. Drowned meadows, torn power lines... We look for a secluded spot and camp free of charge on the closed site. There are well-occupied fixed camper sites above the camping meadows, so a wash house is open. The associated restaurant is publicly located on the street and so the evening meal is guaranteed. Everything good? Starry sky, suddenly it gets cold at the pond where we are still sitting in the evening. The course is almost 500 meters above sea level. Off to the tent. The coldest night of the journey is upon us. Klausen's sleeping bag corner in the tent draws water out of the ground. I put on almost all my clothes, so to speak, the entire onion, during the night, sit in the overheated toilet for a while and don't think ungratefully about this enormous waste of energy. And about light pollution; the closed square is brightly outshined by the light of the lanterns all night long. Despite it. All good." https://www.komoot.de/tour/777211898
