According to the information sign, this is where the actual "end of the world" is. Coming from Alhausen the path ends here at the Nister, on the right the steep cliffs and you can only go further via the "stone island". When it is not flooding, the Nister can be crossed over large stones here - it works - mostly - quite well, but you also have to make a smaller jump from time to time. But since the water is not deep, there is no greater danger if you "miss" a stone ;-). This is the "alternative route" World Heritage nature trail, which is signposted from the World Heritage lookout point - the route is very good and you can hardly miss the rest of the way.
