Bösingen Water House

Highlight • Monument

The small way down to the water-operated power station is profitable. Just take a look at the windows, you get an idea of the technology, the water wheel can also be seen through a rear window.

I parked the car on a grass verge on the dirt road between Haiterbach and the Bösinger sawmill. From here we went to the sawmill. I didn't know that there was even a parking lot for hikers about halfway through, which is of course better than where I parked. Continue on the cycle path to 📍Bösingen
📍Bösingen barbecue/playground
📍Mandelberg ruins …

Round so well. It was too much asphalt for me and even if it was only a short stretch, I don't like walking along a busy street. So, you can go round, but you don't have to.

Thanks to @Christof 🏔🚶🏽‍♂️🐕🚲 . The tour was awesome. We felt very comfortable.
After looking out the window here at home, we thought it would be a very overcast day of hiking. But when we arrived at the start/finish 🅿️ between Haiterbach and Bösingen, we noticed the sun 🌞.
