Beautifully built in 1999 – please treat with care! It's open – so it's protected from the rain if you get caught in a surprise.

Just a few meters from the path is this lost place, which appears to have been an old Soviet Army building. Be careful, as the building is definitely very dilapidated.

Kleinfahner and the Fahner Mill are at your feet, embedded in the beautiful landscape. A short walk to the Fahner Höhe is a perfect break.
