Rest area with drinking water fountain

Highlight • Rest Area

A nice spot to rest. Refreshingly cool water comes out of the fountain. The tall trees provide shade. Recharge your batteries before the knee crusher goes up.

Kreuzberg Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

At the end of the tour, I advise everyone to stop by the monastery to enjoy a delicious meal with a large beer. You can also buy beer there to take home.
