    Hiking

    Nice resting place at the Legelbach. Not recommended for smaller children because the woog (pond) has no railings, etc.
    The year of origin (1829) can be seen as an inscription at the water outlet.

    Hiking

    Trifterlebnispfad - Heinrichsklause 1829 - Infotafel 18
    The Heinrichsklause, like the Franzenklause, served as a log driving pond in a side valley for surge operations in the Legelbach. After the pond, the now overgrown log landing area and the driving channel are clearly recognizable. At the outlet is a distinctive plunge pool, which converted the water energy into a uniform wave.
    Thus, the water was used on the one hand for driving timber from the log landing area and on the other hand for maintaining a wave in the Legelbach. The pond emptied in just five minutes.

    Like the Franzensklaus, the Heinrichsklaus served as the Triftwoog of a side valley for the surge operation in the Legelbach. After the Woog, the Bollerplatz, which is now overgrown, and the Trift Canal can be clearly seen.
