The Brenzschleife makes it easy to go for a lap or to sail the Brenz with a boat. The start and end are only a few hundred meters apart

Orion and I often walk here, because meadows, forests, hills and rocks alternate. Many round trips are selectable depending on preferences. Fully recommended for the whole family! 👍👍

The museum is housed in the former sawmill. Here you can gather impressions about life 150 years ago.
The museum is open every sunday from 2 to 4 pm in the summer half-year (from approx. Easter).
