Beautiful viewpoint over the Craimoosweiher and also a good shelter in case of rain.

Apparently, someone has taken care of it. The seating has been renewed and the undergrowth has been removed. It's located on a quiet road and offers a beautiful view.

At the cycle path underpass through the federal highway, a small, mostly gravel path branches off to the bird watching station at Craimoosweiher, about 150 m away. From there you can see almost the entire pond and watch the birds. It is particularly beautiful at sunset when the setting sun is reflected in the water.
