You can watch bats there on mild summer evenings.

A bird tower with an information board with the appropriate title "Tower for flying villagers". This is the former transformer station. The possible inhabitants are briefly described, namely jackdaws, swifts, house martins, house and tree sparrows and bats. The former transformer station is located directly at the encounter. When I was here it was pretty busy.

I think it's great how such transformer stations are being put to new use and maintained in many places in Hesse. You should make a list there.
