Nearby, about 350 meters off the route, past the lock, it's worth taking a short break. The Deichhotel Arlau has a small café with a great viewing terrace.

Despite its small size - the former pumping station is probably the smallest natural history museum in the north - the exhibition offers a nice overview of the flora and fauna of the Beltringharder Koog. The national park station also serves as a contact and information point for those interested. https://www.sh-guide.de/de/eintrag/schoepfwerk-arlau-schleuse/

Until the Beltringharder Koog was diked, the pumping station was a pump station for draining the marsh. Today it is private and also contains a national park station.
