Great photo spot ♥️ with a view of Ziegenrück Castle. Of course, there's a lovely bench on the banks of the Saale River.

Many relaxing benches and picnic areas are located here on the edge of the weir.

Good view of Burk Castle, but the view of the valley and the Saale River is somewhat overgrown. However, you can only see the castle behind the high-voltage power lines, which makes it a poor photo spot.

The Hemmkoppen Tunnel is a historic railway tunnel belonging to the former route 6683. It was built between 1893 and 1894 and opened on October 1, 1895. The tunnel is 181 meters long and runs through the slate mountains with a slight curve. Today, the tunnel is a popular destination for hikers and is part of Touringen Stamping Point No. 224. The crossing is particularly exciting because the tunnel is completely dark in the middle – a headlamp can be helpful here.
