Hiking

The Gruhe stands on the square of Dallau Castle. The Gruhe or Ruhbank served as a rest stop for the former porters. The rest benches that have been preserved to this day are made of stone and are preserved as a monument.

Hiking

These hearthstones are typical of wine-growing areas. So people often met here for a little break and told the latest gossip.

Hiking

The historical Ruhestein in Dallau is a small but significant witness to bygone days. Made of sandstone, the seating block formerly served as a resting place for hikers, carters, and farm laborers along the old paths around Dallau.
