Galgenbülten is typically located on a main road (Hessenweg) and also on the border. This was customary in the Middle Ages in order to achieve a deterrent effect against strangers and travelers through the delinquents left hanging on the gallows. This gallows is mentioned several times in the archives.

Nice place to rest and sit, with information board about the Galgenbülten (former place of execution).
It is about 200 m to the border and a trip to the NSG Witte Venn is definitely worth it.
If you still need to strengthen yourself, Haarmühle is approx. 500 m away.

Only a few meters further there is a large shelter where you can rest well.
