A canal was already in place in 1744 for floating the logs, and this was considerably expanded in 1760/63. A new canal was built, around 1.8 km long and almost 6 m wide, which branched off from the Enz at the valley cut to the Schellenhof, then led past the sawmill along the right side of the valley, flowed through the Holzgarten and flowed back into the Enz at the village above the Rommelmühle.

5_unterwegs: “Once upon a time, huge amounts of wood were transported across the Enz on rafts. The old rafting channel here runs parallel to the Enz and enabled the rafts to bypass the weir at the sawmill.
The route of the raftsmen led from the Black Forest via Nagold, Enz, Neckar and Rhine in particular to the Netherlands. Because it needed with its rise to the sea trading power in the 17th century. gigantic amounts of wood. Especially the Black Forest, at that time still a mixed forest, was able to deliver this. To show the dimensions: 1,000 oaks are required to build an East India Merchant, and 4,000 to build a large warship. And the Dutch fleet comprised 35,000 ships at the time. “Great tip!

In addition, at this point you can marvel at a wide expanse of water on the Enz and ancient pastures with a "view".

Once upon a time, huge amounts of wood were transported across the Enz on rafts. The old rafting canal here runs parallel to the Enz and made it possible for the rafts to bypass the weir at the sawmill.
The route of the raftsmen led from the Black Forest via Nagold, Enz, Neckar and Rhine in particular to the Netherlands. Because it needed gigantic quantities of wood when it rose to become a sea trading power in the 17th century. Especially the Black Forest, at that time still a mixed forest, was able to deliver this. To show the dimensions: 1000 oaks are needed to build an East India trader, 4000 for a large warship. And the Dutch torture comprised 35,000 ships at the time.
