An irrigation ditch is preserved here, as it has been used for centuries to supply fields and meadows above the Trubach and to increase the yield. A board explains the function.

On another board, hikers are kindly invited to help keep the ditch free.

Children will have fun letting a fallen apple or leaf drift and clearing the way to the Trubach for them. Will a new apple tree grow somewhere on the North Sea? ☺
