There are two benches here and an unusual small and compact wayside shrine. Presumably, a metal cross was once attached to it. The view is very beautiful.

The former forester's lodge was built around 1830. It was a working farm in the second half of the 19th century and one of the Franconian Forest's tourist hotspots. On Ascension Day alone, up to 500 people gathered here. Many people came to dance and celebrate—even walking or cycling long distances at night. The forester's lodge is now a listed building and has stood empty for a long time. Unfortunately, vandals have also been at work here. In 2011, the building acquired a new owner who wanted to restore it and establish it as a tourist destination. So far, nothing has happened, and Langenau, with its dilapidated buildings, remains a ghost town.

A beautiful rest area with a healing spring. The Max-Marien spring provides a calcium bicarbonate acidic spring. Bottles of the healing water can be brought along from the well house in Langenau. The calcium-rich water stimulates kidney function and is recommended for gout and diseases of the urinary tract.
