Next to the narrow bridge, a jetty with access to the water invites you to cool your feet. A lovely place to take a break...even if the path is extremely sandy in places (it's a bridle path, after all, so all cyclists should be considerate of horses and riders).

At first glance, a relic from ancient times, the octagon turns out to be a reference to the sun's varying positions throughout the year. It offers a beautiful view of the countryside and even a trash can along the path.

There is a comfortable seating area and a bench right next to the Schmale Aue.

The hiking trail runs above the old route, which is still clearly visible in parts. It is also possible to walk along the route itself, although this is very difficult in some places due to overgrowth, for example, in Marxen itself.
