Along the Sieg River's oxbow lake, which once flowed directly below the slope, there are well-maintained paths through shady alluvial forest. The Fishing Museum is located above. Also located here is the nostalgically photogenic Maria Theresia, an eel-fishing boat used for river fishing until the 1950s.
