The old station building, now probably in private hands, has something nostalgic about it. You feel like you have been transported back to the times of the 50s and 60s. (No car; visit relatives or go shopping in the next town by train).

The water buffalo are no longer to be found here. Your current pasture is at the Aller Bridge in Eilte.

Beautiful old station building, which now appears to be a private residential building. There is a weather shelter right next to it.

Next to the old station building, which now seems to be a private residence, there is a weather shelter with a set of chairs. An ideal place for a break.
