Guided Story

Can you hear the gentle murmur of water? It whispers tales of a past where engineers worked harmoniously with nature. Look to the west, and you'll spot Lock 70, a quiet testament to the old waterways that once moved people and goods. Right here, the Ausleitbauwerk allowed water to find its path while preserving the land around it. Just a bit south, there's Treidelstein 106, a reminder of the relentless human effort to tow ships with sheer strength. Each stone and curve speaks of the bond between man and nature that makes this region unique.
