Here, the trail continues pathless for approximately 300m (Path 5 and Ulrikaweg) along the busy L284 country road. The road crossing to continue toward Lassaulx-Bank/Schussenursprung requires special caution due to traffic and a long curve!

Lassaulx Bank lookout point on the Buchbühl mountain with a panoramic map and geo-trail station. It offers a fantastic view of Upper Swabia and Bad Schussenried, and in foehn weather, even a view of the Alps.

The disused railway line near Bad Schussenried is the former Federsee Railway, a narrow-gauge railway (750 mm gauge) that operated from 1896 to 1969 and connected Bad Schussenried to Riedlingen. After passenger service ceased in 1964 and freight service in 1969, most of the track was dismantled. However, a remaining section of the section near the Schussen spring from Bad Schussenried to the peat works was converted to standard gauge in the 1970s to maintain operations. In 2013, approval was granted to permanently dismantle the tracks, but this has not yet been completed.
