There used to be a saw mill here. But electricity has been generated from hydropower since 1900.
The large cog wheel of the old mill can be admired here and the fortifications are impressive.

Hiking

Here nature, "history" and sport meet. The old sawmill, a basket maker and the migratory birds are right next to the Enz. Open your eyes and see what there is to discover

The old comb wheel stands as an exhibit in the meadow. It was renovated in 1997. The power plant now feeds 1.1–1.3 million kilowatts of power into the city's power grid annually. This is enough to supply electricity to approximately 400 households.
