A public path (hiking trail) leads over the dam that can be used by pedestrians and cyclists.

The river walkers have to carry the weir around 75m on the right side. After that the river becomes more natural and meanders in faster seroentines. We recommend getting in south of here if possible.

After 84 years of operation at the Hausen hydroelectric power station, the structural integrity of the weir system had reached its limits and renovation was unavoidable. In 15 months of construction, two low-maintenance rubber weirs with a length of 48 meters were installed, which are significantly more powerful and can be controlled more precisely than the old weir system. In addition, all of the hydraulic engineering equipment such as gates, screens and screen cleaning systems, all of the measurement, control and regulation technology and the hydraulic system were replaced. Last but not least, a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge was built that connects the two sights of Banz Monastery and Vierzehnheiligen and is often visited by pilgrims, among others.

The renovation work will ensure the generation of renewable electrical energy from hydropower over the next few decades.

The new facility was officially inaugurated on July 20, 2019.
