Well, the trump card may have hung there once. But now there's a beautiful wooden sculpture of a horse's head from one of the beautiful Icelandic ponies, which you can also admire in real life in the paddocks.

But when there is a lot of water, the beautiful jetty also makes a lot of sense ;-)

If you end the tour here, you can take the bus to Merzig directly opposite the church and from there continue by train.

Very nice pavilion in the middle of the water with a very nice view. But I think it would be nicer if there were a few seating options there to pause.
