Almost always sunny on the bench. Almost always clear. Perfect for a pit stop, and you can either continue on through the Schaichtal valley, or come from there, or turn right at the bench onto a small trail that's easy to ride in the dry and takes you up the hill toward the B27.

In recent years, Nürtingen's city balcony has been created here. There are several restaurants, ice cream parlors, and cafés for refreshments. Cyclists should observe the "walking pace" sign.
