Tips
It's nice to see how the river is allowed to develop naturally again here :)

Due to the drought of the summer of 2018, the small Hopstener Aa, or Mühlen-Aa, dried up for several weeks. In August and September, due to the low water level, no water flowed over the weir on Rheiner Straße in Hopsten. All the water, which was already very small, flowed slightly upstream at the bifurcation into the Giegel Aa. In the dry riverbed, the fish gathered in the remaining pools and were rescued by the local fishing club through relocation.[5]
