The journey in Borlach's footsteps begins at the Saale. It's amazing what ingenuity people showed in the past. The small Saale branches off right next to the weir. The existing water power is used to operate large water wheels. The energy generated in this way was used to drive the field linkage. One of the two wheels is still in operation today to drive the field linkage. The creaking of the rods can be heard from afar and shows the way further in the direction of the shaft and later to the graduation tower.
