The trail passes this small waterfall and the shelter. Unfortunately, there was trash at the shelter and at this beautiful spot. It's a shame, but that doesn't have to happen! Take your trash with you!

The Heck cattle, often inaccurately referred to as the "aurochs" or a "back-breeding" of the same, is a domestic cattle breed developed in the 1920s. It is named after the brothers Heinz and Lutz Heck.

This nameless fountain is located 2-3 meters from the path. The basin is a few meters long and about 40-50 cm deep.
