With the Archimedean screw, Neckar water is pumped to the 6.5 meter high Neckar dam. From here it runs over stone blocks into the Bruckenbach. These were artificially created for the garden show.

The Archimedes' screw transports water from the Neckar River towards the Bruckenwasen landscape park. Unfortunately, the information panel is now (as of December 2025) barely legible.
