Beautiful rest area! Tables and benches are sheltered from the rain. You can drink the fresh spring water and dip your feet in the basin 💦💦

A large forest hut in Freienwil also has a water fountain outside, as well as a barbecue area. A lovely place to take a break.

Behind the Langeloo Hut is a beautiful hollow gas trail. It starts wide, then narrows, merging into a gorge-like path. Pure enjoyment!

Nice place to linger. Large covered barbecue area (only the barbecue area is protected) also on site. Free access to the covered relaxation area with tables and benches. There is a water fountain. I don't know if there is always water.
