Information on ecclesiastical and communal history and the industrial watermill era. Also presented is the special border situation of the municipality in the post-war period.

Great area for cycling or mountain biking. The signage always lures you to stop.

I live just a few meters away, and my tours often start with a drive through here. There's always something new to discover. The Bäk stream, in particular, is always worth a look.
