Wonderful view with the Alps on the horizon. But the view in other directions is also worth enjoying. A bench here invites you to take a short break.

The bridge over the Ammer is worth seeing. The temporary bridge is now being dismantled, it has been replaced by the new bridge. The view from the top of the Ammer valley is magnificent.
