Small footbridge to cross the Vöhlerbach. A small rest area gives the opportunity for a picnic.

The small wooden bridge over the Vöhlerbach used to serve as a small trade route for people. Farming meant that farmers had fruit, vegetables, eggs and homemade butter. The produce had to be brought to Weilburg on foot to be sold or exchanged. Butter was in demand. The route was arduous, leading over the bridge, Roter Kopf, Waldhausen to Weilburg. The Buttersteg was therefore a great shortcut.
