Here the Lone flows into the Brenz. Not really, because it's the hurdle. It has been named as 7 km of river since it merged with the 38 km long Lone. Shall understand who wants.

Legend of the ruins of Güssenburg.
During the siege of Güssenburg in 1448 by the imperial cities, the last Güsse is said to have hidden gold and precious stones in a crypt under the Güssenburg. In the last centuries the treasure hunters tried in vain for the treasure. So there is still a chance to recover it.
