Single bench under an old walnut tree with its back to the beautiful Hasrdt and unobstructed view over the sea of vines and the Rhine plain to the Odenwald. In sight (to the south) and approx. 100 m to the north, there is each a freestanding seating group with a table (but WITHOUT shade).

My favorite section of the route! For a few minutes, you're in the Shire of the Hobbits. Sunny valley, no cars, and lots of peace!

Great open viewpoint looking up at Landeck Castle ruins on the hillside - worth slowing down for a photo as you pass by.
