Weir on the Waldach, 300-meter-long drive channel, iron, backward-acting water wheel with spur gear transmission, 6 meters in diameter (originally lined with wooden paddles), 3 meters of head in the drive channel, pump output: 3-5 HP depending on water inflow from the drive channel, double-acting plunger pump from Maschinenfabrik Esslingen from the year 1893 with a high-performance suction and delivery pump and pressure vessel. In 1991, the plant was shut down as a private water supply due to contaminated spring water. Depending on the water level of the Waldach, the pumping station managed to pump 160,000 liters of fresh spring water directly into the houses and into the water reservoir in Bösingen, 2.3 km away and 140 meters higher, in 8 to 14 hours. The spring yields 1-2 liters per second depending on the season.

The Brömbachtal valley surprises with a calm, almost untouched atmosphere. The narrow stream meanders through dense forest, accompanied by moss-covered stones and small clearings that create a fresh, lively mood, especially in spring. Away from larger paths, the valley seems pleasantly secluded and invites you to slow down and consciously perceive your surroundings.

Bridge over the Hirschgraben in an idyllic location. Not far from here, the small stream flows into the Bömbach.

The “Posthotel zur Sonne” (Post Hotel at the Sun) was built in 1697 as one of the first larger buildings outside the Upper Gate on the Vorstadtplatz (Suburb Square) by butcher, innkeeper, and mayor Johann Philipp Deublin. In the 18th century, there was already a royal route for coaches that led from Stuttgart via Nagold to Freudenstadt and Strasbourg. In 1807, King Frederick established a post office in the Gasthaus zur Sonne. A stable for changing horses was added in 1812. At times, up to 50 animals were housed there. In 1898, the business moved to a new post office building on Leonhardstraße. Under Paul and Emma Luz, the post office was transformed into a hotel. During renovations in 1906, running water and electricity were installed. Professor Robert Nachbauer from Stuttgart had the magnificent half-timbering in the Franconian style uncovered and designed the artistically significant inn sign. `` . ... . After taking over the hotel in 1950, Karl-Friedrich and Lore Scholl had it modernized. Until its sale in 1984, the Hotel Post remained in the possession and management of the same family for generations, although the names changed: Deublin, Gschwindt, Luz, and Scholl.
