At the "Alte Jeetzel" there's not only a bench for a break, but also a shelter. This is perfectly suitable for bikepackers and cycle tourists, but also as a short-term shelter when it starts to rain.

This small hut with a bench in front of it stands on the side of the road between Dübbekold and Nieperfitz, next to a small pond. It's ideal for taking a break on a hike or bike ride. It's very quiet here.

An old construction trailer converted into a shelter. And visually fits well into the landscape.
