A long bench and a long table invite you to take a rest. An information board explains how pitch and grease were extracted from tree resin here in the past. A memorial stone at the crossroads commemorates the 500th anniversary of the Vordorf Forestry Office in 1999.

Previously, wagon smear, pitch, cobbler pitch and barrel pitch were recovered here in the smelter hut made of tree resin. Today a small information board reminds of the old times.
