Tips
The historic surge system was built in 1840 and made it possible to transport firewood. The dam that can be seen today is a restored replica.

Historic surge system on the Rollwasserbach stream; unfortunately, not much remains except for the brick canal.
The dammed water was used to float timber before it was sorted and channeled further along the Rollwasserbach stream toward the Enz.translated by•August 7, 2025
