The area around Rastenberg is great for hiking; there's a rest area by the fish pond.

Almost like a monument, a reference to the Way of St. James, we get our hiking stamp in the house opposite. After a chat, we continue walking, looking at the wide fields again, and after a while we reach Nermsdorf. Here is our entire hike https://youtu.be/nFbLNkERv8c

Two signs indicate the former location from 1910 to 2000. The former overpass was part of the connecting line to the Rastenberg potash shaft, which was shut down and dismantled in 1925.
