Beautiful rest area! Tables and benches are sheltered from the rain. You can drink the fresh spring water and dip your feet in the basin 💦💦

Nice place to linger. Large covered barbecue area (only the barbecue area is protected) also on site. Free access to the covered relaxation area with tables and benches. There is a water fountain. I don't know if there is always water.
