Hiking

At the southern tip of the city garden you have a beautiful view of the Bleichwehr, a 130 m long weir at the mouth of the Metzelgraben. Its purpose is to transfer Nagold water via the Metzelgraben into the Enz, where it can drive the hydroelectric turbines of the Auerbrücke river power station. A weir is a fixed weir whose crest runs almost parallel to the main flow of the river.

Hiking

Here at the bleach weir, the water is discharged into the Metzelgraben. It is the last of numerous mill canals that used to run through the lower-lying parts of Pforzheim. Today, the water from the Nagold is used to generate energy in the Auerbrücke hydroelectric power station.
In the dammed weir area you can also watch the swans and ducks very nicely.
