Directly on the way is a sandstone rock with a steep flat surface inclined towards the west. Steps are carved into it, which form an approx. 5 meter long path. This can be exciting for families with children.

Today we went on an idyllic hike from Waake.

Shortly after leaving the village, we reached the "fountain in front of the gate" without a linden tree 🤣. Here we could admire a small fountain right next to a rock formation with a seating area.

We continued through a picturesque forest, right next to the babbling floodplain.
