Hiking

Nice little water wheel in the center of Helberhausen. Reminiscent of the use of hydroelectric power. Somehow we have forgotten everything that our ancestors already mastered.

Hiking

In the Ferndorftal iron processing companies systematically settled, which made use of hydroelectric power. The creek was dammed up again and again and channeled over water wheels. A system that was continued throughout the Siegerland, including at the Sieg. This type of energy production was not without consequences. A heavily polluted and smelly Ferndorfbach was the result.
