A former bunker from the Second World War was converted into an observation deck or observation hut. As the Thurauen lie in a border area with Germany, there are several old fortifications in the area.

An old bunker has been turned into a birding point. Very nice view and top built

Probably one of the most beautiful vantage points in the floodplain area. Also great for a relaxing break.
