    Hiking

    A memorial stone and an information board remind of the former horrific place where the Dürkheimers got rid of their disgusting contemporaries. A little above - so that you could see the frightening examples well. Behind the bushes is a bench.

    Hiking

    In the 16th century this area was called "Am Rusten", as elms (= Rusten) apparently stood here. This later became "Rustel" and now "Rissel". (Why it is called "Russel" here on the large sandstone remains a mystery to me.)

    If you want to rest in this eerie place, there is a nice rest bench directly behind it (a few steps down). However, the view is rather restricted here in summer due to the tree foliage.
