Very nice bench to lie on. We were here at the beginning of our tour and focused on the descent.

Interesting descent and then a relaxing lounger in the middle of the rock!
So shortly after the start, I don't really need any rest stops (especially since noon was scheduled in the Schmausemühle). But still great!
Better a rest area or a bank than none! It's great when you can see that the path is well attended, that many rest areas are also used and that, due to the large number of offers, everyone still has the chance to find a place to rest!

"Schinkaul"

Until the beginning of the last century, the dead cattle of the former community of Heyweiler were disposed of in the mine (popularly known as "Schinkaul"). The disposal of the dead animals far outside the village was intended to prevent infectious animal diseases from spreading in the village were placed in this pit and then covered with lime. The pit used to be closed with an iron lid. A worked mountain plateau with terraces on both sides is also visible. These are probably the remains of a medieval fortification, perhaps even Roman Origin, because Roman coins from the 1st and 2nd centuries were found in the vicinity According to tradition, this was a refuge for the ancestors of the Heyweiler in earlier times of war.
