Hiking

This column is modeled after the Irminsul from Germanic times and is one of the architectural highlights, a romantic work of art from the late 18th century. Besides it and the many bridges, another highlight was a canal on the upper canal paths, which carried water from the Meixmühle mill to an artificial waterfall underground.
