This hidden bench is a really nice find with a mountain bike. I stopped here briefly and enjoyed the view – a quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle, perfect for a little break. The view is really awesome and makes the stop absolutely worthwhile.

Who would have guessed such a beautiful spot would be hidden behind this water protection wall? Certainly not me! A bench and trash can, and a beautiful view of the Klingnau Reservoir. It's very popular with young people, but rarely free in nice weather.

A small oasis of peace behind the flood protection wall. It's easy to overlook, but once you discover it, you'll always come back. Beautiful view of the Klingnau reservoir.
