The water meadows in the Kainach valley near Hollfeld are part of a centuries-old Franconian cultural landscape. In the dry Franconian Switzerland, farmers have used a sophisticated system of weirs and ditches since the Middle Ages to specifically channel river water onto the meadows. The water from the Kainach brings important nutrients, which significantly increases soil fertility and hay yield. Management is often cooperative. So-called "Wässerer" (water managers) regulate which areas are flooded and when, using sluice gates and locks. The water trickles over the area and flows back into the river via collection ditches, thus preventing waterlogging.
