Unfortunately, the pool didn't have any water in April, but visitors can still enjoy the view of Lißberg from here. This small, lively stream along the path is a lovely eye-catcher. And of course, the instructions for "Kneipen" (drinking) as a souvenir are a must-have.

As I recently found out, the beautiful beer garden “Orbes” has been permanently closed since last autumn. I also find that very unfortunate.
