The Elz flows here in its old river bed. In Riegel, however, only a certain amount of water is carried through here. This will prevent flooding.
The Elz used to be an important transport route. It also served to irrigate the meadows. Plots with this old right still exist today.
An information board explains a lot more to you. From here you can also take a path along the river along the old Elz to the city garden.

The Alte Elz flows past Hecklingen through Kenzingen and further on through Europapark Rust to its later mouth in the Rhine.
