    Crossroads on the Auerhahnenkopf with shelter, fountain and several benches distributed around the crossroads.
    The E1 hiking trail and the Neckarsteig meet here.

        Beautiful, spacious rest area, with a fountain, around the "Hohlenkästenbaumhütte". Unfortunately, what the "hollow box tree" is all about is not documented.

            The beautiful box tree fountain directly at the box tree hut. The fountain was built in 1908 and restored in 1982.
