    In addition to the sundial, which is prominently placed on the path, the unobstructed view of Birlinghofen Castle on the other side of the stream valley is surprising.

      A very interesting article about the liberation of the sundial from its plexiglass cage can be found here:

        Unfortunately there was no sun today. The 70 clock faces are made from metal plates on the main sculpture (I think).

        From the bench you have a great view of the castle.
        Take a short break!
