    Hiking

    By placing larger stones in the riverbed of the Aa, artificial narrowings are created, leading to "mini rapids".

    Hiking

    🚲✨ The so-called "mini-rapids" on the Steinfurter Aa in Wettringen are not natural waterfalls, but technically highly effective low-water weirs, which were created as part of ecological redesigns. They fulfill an important function: they make the river passable for fish and other aquatic life.

    Hiking

    The natural stone weirs were set unevenly to liven up the flow pattern. This creates variety in the riverbed – sometimes calm zones, sometimes a light rushing sound that actually looks like small rapids. 🧱✨
