The trail is currently not fully accessible because the area of the moss house that burned down in August 2025 is officially closed. A new moss house is being built there and the area is being redesigned.

The rest area is also frequently used by campers because it's located right next to the road. From here, you also have a great view of the Saale Viaduct.
