This is a private place, nobody is allowed in. The family is tired of kicking out people trespassing. Only people who live here or have their horses here is allowed. They even put a lock on the bridge but people keep going through and jumping over the door.

Here, the place Kruft is over or starts. When you drive out of Kruft, according to the sign, nothing more comes, so you could think that here is the end of the world "Kruft"

If you walk the Rheinburgenweg from Andernach to Bassenheim, this break point is almost exactly halfway. Here you can relax in the shade with a view of the Nette.
