    Nice place for a break with two benches a little off the road. There is also a historical fountain.

      If you come from the district road Grüningen Holzheim, you drive down the gravel path and past the fountain. By the tree on the top of the district road there is a stone cross mentioned on the sign without an inscription.
      That's how nothing can be seen of the abandoned Birnkheim today.

        Today only the fountain, a stone cross and the well-preserved chapel hill are silent witnesses of the village of Birnkheim
