    Galgenbülten is typically located on a main path (Hessenweg) and also on the border. This was common in the Middle Ages to achieve a deterrent effect on strangers and travelers through the executed delinquents left hanging on the gallows. This gallows is mentioned multiple times in the archives.

    Nice spot for a rest and to sit, with an information board about Galgenbülten (former execution site).
    The border is about 200 m away. A trip to the Witte Venn nature reserve is definitely worthwhile.
    If you need to refuel, Haarmühle is about 500 m away.

    Only a few meters further there is a large shelter where you can rest well.
