There are two benches. The upper one is even more ideal. And it is the ideal resting place before the final climb.

Great view of Muttenz and Wartenberg. The trees have been removed, so the view is better, but much less shade ;-). Great BBQ area but you need to reserve a spot before noon on weekends.
