boardwalk
The boardwalk, which has been running through the Hafenlohr valley near Rothenbuch since 2004, was renovated in mid-2012 and has been accessible again since September 2012. The path can be used by hikers who observe the valley's nature, which is worthy of protection, but do not want to damage it.
Among other things, the AGH financed the tools, the Bavarian state forests donated around 20 solid cubic meters of oak wood, and the work was carried out by a group of eight volunteers.
Work started at the end of June 2012. The most complex part was the construction of the new substructure made of oak. Both the old Douglas fir posts and the spruce joists were replaced with oak. Only the substructure of the bridge, which is also new, was made of Douglas fir.
In order to give the bridge better stability, additional cross braces were installed in every second section of the substructure. In order to keep vegetation away from the jetty in the future, the maintenance of the site was reorganized in consultation with the lower nature conservation authority. The plank bridge is to be cut free in the future as part of the landscape conservation measures. The aim is to keep moisture away from the bridge so that the processed wood lasts longer.
