Highlight • Rest Area
1. Nice and shady in summer because it is completely covered.
2. in the rain: because of the large, complete roof, you can also store your bicycles in the rain and unpack your food in the dry.
3. There is now a small service station right next door, which can also be used as an assembly stand. The service station is equipped with everything you need for minor repairs. To be mentioned in particular, e.g. tire levers and air pump!
Here someone had a very good idea !!! 👍👍👍🙂

Wittelsberger Warte
Highlight • Monument
In the immediate southern neighborhood to the waiting room is the Protestant parish church, built in 1844 in the style of classicism, to the west, next to the control room and the church, is the cemetery.
The Wittelsberger Warte stands on a 257.8 m high [...] small basalt crest, which towers over the immediately adjacent settlement area of Wittelsberg by a maximum of 40 m [2], on the southeastern edge of the Amöneburg Basin. The center of the village is only 300 meters to the east.
The Landwehr, whose component was the Wittelsberger Warte was in the northeast to Roßdorf and in the southwest to Heskem, where once each waiting also stop.
The control room is a round tower surrounded by a wall-ditch system with vertical loopholes for the use of crossbows and handguns. The entrance was raised and could only be reached by ladders. Probably a palisade rose on the wall.
Today, a pergola from Hainbuchen leads from the village to the Wartturm and the church. The tower can not be entered, but also offers from its foot a good view over the Amöneburger basin, u. a. to Frauenberg and Amöneburg.
