The short engagement path leads past a lot of water with a bridge over the Schmale Aue and is also a beautiful path in itself.

An extraordinary bridge, unique to our region, to my knowledge. Very beautiful to look at.

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.

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.
