    Right next to the tourist information on the bridge you have the best view of this imposing water wheel, where the Wiesent is powered by the water.

      Very rustic water wheel on the Wiesent and only a stone's throw from the legendary Heckl brewery.

        In the middle of the city is the Stadtmühle with one of the largest undershot water wheels in Franconian Switzerland. It has been owned by the Wehrl family since 1698. In 1948 it burned down to the foundations. It was rebuilt in its current form in 1949. Until 2007 it served as a grain mill. Today it generates electricity for the region.
