The short detour from the main path to the Liesburg hut is worth it, very nice view. You can rest comfortably in front of the hut, but the hut is locked.

The enclosed hut is a bit dated and unfortunately offers no protection from the elements. You can rest on the bench in front of it in good weather. If it rains, we recommend heading to the open shelter located a little further down.

It's lovingly designed and invites you to rest and linger. Another highlight is the goldfish pond behind it.

The Eisenberg trail leads underneath the hut. The short detour up the narrow path is worth it: there is a nice view and there are some outdoor seating areas where you can take a rest. The hut itself is not accessible.

Right next to the village pond is this new shelter for hikers and cyclists. It looks really quaint. In my photo you can see that the village fountain was decorated for Easter and even the Easter bunny had taken a seat on the bench.

The local council and residents have outdone themselves here❕️ After years of standstill, the space around the pond in the center of the town has been redesigned. A great shelter and the newly maintained / created pond invite you to take a break in any weather.

Unfortunately it's right on the A7 motorway and it's so loud that you can't even have a normal conversation. Just get out of there quickly!
